Hi just bought coh +coh opposing fronts and have am getting *Cannot connect to all players* 9/10 on almost every online game .
any ideas ?





thanks
 
Nice purchase dude :) Quality games. Are you behind a router? If so, enable ports: UDP 6112, UDP 30275 (used in beta, probably not needed but whack it in anyway) and UDP 9100. If not, try the steps in here. If none of these work, post back.

Reminds me to install this and play online again, I used to bloody love it.

Game is ace - play nothing but it. Yea as the guy just said - open up you ports and you will see most of your problems go. However relic online is a bit of a joke atm.

They are sorting it out however since they outsourced the server host it has been a headache. It will get better and some nights are better than others, however prepare to get a mite frustrated.

Doesn't stop me playing it though. Tis a shame as it is such a great great great game however the online experience is just frustrating.
 
Hi i have a zyxel prestige 660hw-t1 wireless router have forwarded all the ports you mentioned no luck though.Also have enabled UPnP in winxp services and have tried opening the ports in my av/fw tho you would have thought it would have asked you to open these ports first time i runned the game which it and i accepted it.

Is there like a error log file somewhere that will say whats the problem ?
 
Anyone else get that Cannot connect to all players problem with coh,also how did you fixed it ?

I have practically the same router as you and had to open up several ports to get it to work. When i get home tonight I will update this thread with the ports that I had to open, and how to do it.

Hopefully then you will be able to enjoy your game online.

The log can be found in My Documents/My Games/Company of Heroes. Its called warnings.log I think. Cant remember what info it gives for network stuff, but I'm pretty sure theres some stuff in there.
 
Ok

On my Prestige 660HW I have the following ports forwarded to the DHCP assigned IP address of my games machine. Its easier if you use a DHCP assigned address, that way the rules you create can get forwarded to the same local IP.

Firewall - Rule Summary

WAN to LAN
COH(UDP:6112)
COH2(UDP:30260)
COH3(UDP:9100)

Note that I called the rules COHx. You can call them whatever you wish.

You first have to create a rule, (Firewall -> Rule Summary -> Packet Direction (WAN to LAN), -> Insert.

Then create a new customized service which defines the port number and type (TCP or UDP) (Click Edit Customized services), save it and then assign the new service to the rule.

Once you have done that in the firewall rules pages you need to do something similar in the NAT page.

NAT -> SUA Only - Click "Edit details"

Then add:

Start port 6112. End port 6112. IP Address: 192.168.1.x (whatever your IP address is of your games machine)

Do the same for the other ports 30260 and 9100.


Then you should be good to go.

Hope this helps

Hi have portforwarded my router but am still getting
port 6112/30260/ 9100 is timed out on
http://www.canyouseeme.org/
did you have to disable windows firewall /what software firewall you running ?

Where did you get those instructions from ? another forum ?

Also do you still get that cannot conect to all players error even after forwarding the ports ?


thanks
 
I'm an IT Pro so I understand how to configure my firewall ;)

A mate on CoH told me what ports needed opening and I simply opened them on the Prestige, and then made sure the packets forwarded properly under the NAT options.

Firstly, did you assign your PC a DHCP assigned IP address? This is important, because you define in the rules where the packets you are allowing in on your firewall get forwarded to.

That site you posted doesn't say whether its trying TCP or UDP as its protocol. In this case we are opening UDP ports. Anyway, when I configured my firewall correctly, CoH worked fine with now problems.

I run the standard windows firewall in Vista although its not really necessary since the Prestige is firewall enough.

You could try enabling UPnP in the prestige and see if you get any joy that way. UPnP should allow the application to open the ports required directly.

Hope this helps.

Im using bitdefender av/fw.

Ok ive added the 3 rules to the router firewall also added the 3 ports start and end in nat>suaonly with the ip address of my computer from the DHCP table but still it won't connect theres only like 3 out of 50 games it will actully connect to which is not good at all. :(


Is there a app that i can run or a way that will say where or what is blocking those ports ?




thanks again
 
hi, try connecting to ones where you can see everyones Ping, if you cant dont bother.

also if it doesnt allow you a first time try up to 3 times to get into a room sometimes helps.

Ok.

  • Firstly bring up a command prompt in Windows XP or Vista by clicking on Start -> Run, then typing "CMD" in that box (then ok/Run)
  • type ipconfig /all (note the space)
  • Make a note of your MAC address for your network card (it may be called hardware address and is in the form xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. Also make a note of your IP address.
  • Log into your router interface.
  • Browse to the LAN section
  • Click on Static DHCP (can't remember off the top of my head exactly what its called here)
  • Enter your mac address without the "-" and then enter your IP addres next to it.
  • Apply.
That'll ensure that you get the same DHCP assigned local IP address everytime your machine requests one.

Now, as I said previously, you then need to go into the Firewall policies/rules and define the ports that need to be opened under custom services. You then need to assign those services to WAN->LAN access rules in the firewall policy, and ensure that they point to your DHCP assigned IP address.

Then you need to do the same sort of thing in the NAT section, to make sure that once the data packets come through your firewall, they are translated and forwarded to your DHCP assigned IP address so your machine can see them!

Hope this helps
