registering

[meafharo]

im trying to register to play dawn of war online, but it always either says nickname is in use, or password is invalid. I dont understand because i havent set a password so how can it not be valid. and ive also tried different login names and they r all taken

[Akira]

getting a unique name can b hard with a game thast been out for a while , try adding numbers , brackets (sp.?) etc as for your password im nt sure what could b wrong

[meafharo]

ive tried different names, all with different numbers and ways to make it, and still no luck, and if it doesnt say name not in use, it says password invalid

[Moe]

Use a different email address.

[Akira]

..and thats why he's a mod. i <3 u moe hehe

[meafharo]

ok, now it freezes when i try it. making me mad

[TBS]

Shut down your firewall.

Actually, apparantly people have been experiencing this problem (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=87986) today - wait a while and try again later.

[meafharo]

yea, i tried using many different email adresses, but still no luck, always says that nickname is in use

[Moe]

Ok post a warnings.log from after trying to make a new nickname please, also run the network tester (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=63593) and post the results.

all those ports are blocked, you need to forward them on your router configuration page. If youre lucky, the website linked in the net test thread will have a walkthrough explaining what to do for your model of router.
