Generals, Zero Hour, C&C3, Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3 all used the Gamespy system for their online play, but the whole system has been shut down in July 2014.

However, community servers have already been set up, so it should be possible to play online that way. More information on that can be found at http://cnc-online.net/

@NOVAxMagna I literally linked to the wikipedia page that explains it all. Basically, the multiplayer of these games was managed by an external company, and that company went bankrupt or something like that.
