Hello I'm trying to get Generals Online working through Windows ICS, although Unsuccessfully so far - I've read all the documentation about Port forwarding and FirewallPortOverride in the config file... although Having played around with these, it seems to make the problem worse rather than better... If i host a game, I can usually get into the game, although some or all of the clients get disconnected straight away. If i try to join a game, The game chucks up the "One or more users have a firewall.. blah de blah" message. Has anyone had any success using Windows ICS? or knows how to do it? any more info would be appreciated Cheers Ben -- Ben Cottrell AKA Bench "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989
