Re: CnC TW "unable to connect to other players"

Yes, try connecting directly with an Ethernet cable. A dynamic IP address is fine so addresses starting with 10 or 5 should not cause an issue.

    I connected directly with the ethernet cable and it worked perfectly. However, the problem persists when using the WiFi. Are there any settings I can change (I do not have network administrator priveliges) that might help, or is it a problem with the servers or other users?

    If you are not the server administrator or do not have any occasion to change settings, odds are that you will not be able to do anything about it not working with WiFi.

    Barry probably knows better so I'll let him chip in on this one. 🙂

    There is no problem with the servers or other users. A direct Ethernet connection is just more reliable and less prone to errors. Wifi is fine for just surfing the web where if there is a problem you just refresh the page. For online multiplayer games the connection needs to be more stable and an Ethernet connection provides that.
