There's also section N of your readme file:

N. Ports

- Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War uses the GameSpy NAT negotiation system to enable most people to play online without configuring their routers, but you may need to manually open ports to play.

- GameSpy can require the following ports to be opened:

UDP 6500
TCP 6667
UDP 27900
UDP 27901
TCP 28910
TCP 29900
TCP 29901
UDP 29910
TCP 29920

- Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War uses the following port to host games and accept connections:

UDP 6112

- Check your router documentation for instructions on how to open ports. The process is very different for different brands and even for different models from the same maker.

- You could also try putting your computer in your router's DMZ. Again, check your router documentation for details on how to do this.
