Severe multiplayer problems, but i pass the port test.

[Mamon]

I fail to connect to 9 of 10 games online. But, when I check the test from the link in the sticky, all ports say "pass". I have also port forwarding port 6112 on my router.

I don't use win XP fire wall, and I use NOD.

What more can I do?

Edit: I check port 6112 while I have the game running and lgged in, and it isn't open. Something block it.

While the game is running and logged in it is using the port, which is why the net test will fail under those conditions.

Does disabling NOD make any difference?

I haven't tried it yet. At the moment I created games instead, but the game crashed twice. Soon people are going to think I quit on purpose.

Disabling NOD while internet is on... I don't know.

Provided you keep windows fully patched there is minimal risk from running without security software for a short while, particularly since you have an additional layer of protection in the form of your hardware firewall.
