Please help me with online games

[Dark_Lork]

okay, i have been having problems with creating online games - no-one can join them. i think that people who try to join are getting the message 'Connection disallowed by host' (or whatever it is). i have also been getting the same problem from other players. i have completlely deleted all my files in my Dawn of War foler, just in case that there is a dodgy file in there or something.

That seems to be the problem...
Are you running a firewall, any firewall? Do you have a router? Are you running a localized version of DoW?

[Dark_Lork]

yes i am running a firewall. yes, i do have a router. I am not sure what a localized version of dow is so :P

thx for replying

19:51:07.6 QRAddError - no challenge error "No challenge value was received from the master server."

That there is a problem, something on your end is blocking communication from gamespy which means that the game you are trying to host will not show up on for anyone else.

[Moe]

Ugh. I looked at that log about five times, and never even saw that line. :(
OK, so try disabling all firewall software completely and DMZing yourself in your router.
If that works, you can start turning them back on one by one and see which one is the culprit.

[Dark_Lork]

wicked, thanks alot
