Try to disable the In-Game overlay in Origin settings. This resolved my game launch issues with Red Alert 2 and Generals.

so when I go to the cncnet what are the steps to jump in and play?
Uh, for RA2, I suggest you follow the link to the forum on that page (the large green "join the discussion!" button at the bottom). As I said, it's still in development at the moment, so you'll have to look through the forum a bit.
For the others (C&C1, RA1 and TS), you basically download the cncnet client program, put it somewhere on your disk, run it, and tell it where your C&C games are, and you should be ready to go.
For C&C Generals and the later games, you should check out the C&C: Online project, which replaces the official Gamespy servers which shut down a while back.
