Create Profile

[Noveson]

I tried to go online last night and I clicked create profile. I filled in everything and pushed create, and then it just went this loading screen that said "creating account with online lobby system" I waited for like 3 hours and nothing happened. Looking for some help.

Post your warnings.log file after trying to create the account.

Also, try the network testing tool.

Do not know how to find my warning log. Looked at the sticky and still couldn't find it. Although this guy is describing the same error I had and he has his warning log.

If you have any active software firewalls, including the built-in windows one, shut them off.

You read the wrong sticky :-)

[Noveson]

No I was saying that that link had the warning log to the same problem I did.

Here I finally found it

It doesnt stop going "creating account with online lobby system" so I really don't know when I am supposed to get my warning.log.

[ÜberJumper]

Is that your warnings.log or someone else's warnings.log file?

[Noveson]

The last one I posted was mine.

[ÜberJumper]

Noveson:

Did you try the network tester tool? Can you copy and paste the results from it please?

[Noveson]

These are the results

Bad result right?

[ÜberJumper]

Very bad :-(

Your firewall is likely preventing you from connecting to the server at all. Try disabling your firewall, or configuring it based on the port information found here:

M. Firewall Issues

- If you have a firewall such as ZoneAlarm or Norton Personal Firewall, then you need to make sure that you have given Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – WINTER ASAULT permission to access the internet and to accept connections from the internet.

- If you have Windows XP and have enabled the Windows Firewall, or if you have Windows XP Service Pack 2, you need to make sure that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – WINTER ASSAULT is listed and selected in the "Exceptions" section of the firewall options. To do this open the 'Control Panel', double-click the Network Connections icon, and right-click on your internet connection. Select 'Properties', then 'Advanced'. You should now see the 'Settings' button for the Windows Firewall. Click the button and make sure that the firewall is turned off, or that ' W40kWA.exe' is selected in the 'Exceptions' tab of the Windows Firewall dialog box.

- If problems persist try disabling the firewall.

N. Ports

- Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – WINTER ASSAULT 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 – WINTER ASSAULT 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.
