    Hi

    I lay down my head in shame and I humbley offer it for the chop and beg the fourm and the CM to lob it off and seek forgiveness in the CM world of the hereafter.

    Sorry I fixed it apparently, you were right it was my cable. Well it needs testing but I am sure it is ok. My cable does not lock up now and as it seem CM is working now. I just got soo frustriated at not being able to play this great game. I thought I was being screwed once more. Any way some of the posts did not help me and made more frustraited.

    So once again I like to say I was wrong and sorry for blowing my top off.

    hi

    well obviously this the atmosphere of the fourm. I am pretty fed up with the game. It is crap simple. The statement of the developers was a blast of fresh air, but then i said to my self there has to be a catch. Guess what there is, dam mp does not work and I get insults thrown at me. So here u can stick ur game up your backside. There is no way am i or my friends are going to get the next one. When developers stop producing buggy software then people will be more happy. period

    last time i am here

    hi

    Thanks for the reply and for doing it so quick.

    Then you need to add CM to the allowed programs, otherwise ZoneAlarm will not allow it to communicate with another user via TCP/IP. If it isn't in the list it is considered 'blocked'.

    "Does your 'set top box' have an RJ-45 ethernet connection coming off of it to hook up to your computer ?

    Ans: Yes it does and it use an x over cable conection (i think)

    What info does your cable provider give you regarding your internet setup.

    Ans: None

    In other words do you have to run a 'setup' program from your cable provider in order to use the internet ?

    Ans: yes I have to put a PID Number and a password on my pc as soon it connected, then I fill in the details and then I have to reboot the setop box and my pc. I have to live the set tox off for about two minutes before I can get a conection. I think it it is the the signal is routed and travels etc.

    Are there any configuration options at all or did a technician come out and setup everything ? Was a card added to your computer to hook up via cable ?"

    Ans: I set it up, put the ethernet card in plug the cable in both ends and did as the above.

    Then I can connect to the net.

    As for Cm not being listed in Zonealarm how do get zonealarm to find it and allow it to pass? In other words I do I get zonealarm to recognise CM. The zonealarm help pages says to do this I must start the game in a window, but how do i do that, CM does not have that option. How do I do this from windows?

    Oh by the way if i leave CM on and play a single player game my internet connection goes to sleep and i have to reboot to get it online again. what gives?

    Thanks for the help.

    hi

    No offence but i have go a clue what u are on about.

    I am not on a router

    I get cable set top box that gives me my cable channels and my broadband connection. My cable comapany will not give me access to their port configuration. They will not release information on how do it . I do not have operation manual for it. I do not know how it works other than the on/off button.

    So no hope there. I do not have a website i can access to change it. So what now.

    Hahaha... So many memory resident programs and allot of them are TCPIP active, that I'm amazed you can think there is a problem with CM MP that have been overlooked by all of us in the last 2 years

    Nice line of thinking, its always the others fault

    In my system specs, CM MP is so bullet prove that I can even play it and play 2 other CM games at same time... think on that.

    Zonealarm --> Phobia (total system resource waist)

    Antivirus --> Phobia (total system resource waist)

    MSN --> Total waist

    MB Monitor --> Not needed and not precise

    ICQ --> It should give you no trouble if properly setup

    Winamp --> Dangerous... why do you need it always on ?

    natscapre --> Don't know what it is and don't want to know it

    This is obviously my very own personal opinion

    Hi it was the above post that insulted me. Sorry but i am veteran of computer games online and the first think a developer does is the blame the user. Now the guy above was partronising and quite insulting and arogant. I only told him to get a life and i get down to go away with attitude. The abve guy is a prat and his post that follow are the same, even though some it is help full.

    Again I am on cable 512k khps. I came here for help not instults or to be partronised or told off.

    Anyway thanks for all the guy out there who have posted

    How do i check if the port that cm use is blocked, how do i get zonealarm to unblock it

    how i open a port. Please do not say "contact" ur cable company becaue i have done that many times and with different comapanies, in effect no comapany wil open a port just for one user, and quite right so.

    So how do i change it myself what are the procedures?

    Thanks in advance

    hi

    Hi

    I am pretty disapointed with this game, why because it is so bloody good, but the mp side of it is well crap. I keep dropping after about 2 mins or even 10 mins

    but i still drop, and the game sends my internet connection it lockup mode. I never have this happen in Medal of Honour or IL-2. So what gives

    I am on cable, so the speed should not be a problem.

    At the moment i have 1ghz t-bird, 386 ram, cable 512 kps and window 98 1st ed.
