servers not appearing?

royalhonor · 12-28-2007, 10:12 PM

Whenever I try to join an online game, no matter what it is, the list of servers is empty. I've even put my firewall in "allow all" mode and it still is not working. The strange part is that nothing is wrong with my internet connection (which is why I'm able to post here).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Could you list a few titles you've tried to play?

also what firewall are you using?

I've tried Nexuiz, Warsow, and Call of Duty 1.

My firewall is Comodo Firewall Pro 3.

just as an experiment turn the firewall off,or better yet disable it from starting in msconfig.then try a game see if the list shows.

Also make sure the Windows firewall (if your on XP SP2 or above) is off.

Also did you set up your router? Sometimes higher port values (ones used by video games and bittorrent clients) are blocked.

If I remember correctly Call of Duty uses 20500-20900 ports.

Thanks, but I added them to my trusted applications list and that fixed everything. I guess this thread can be closed now.
