I've just bought Battlefield 1942 as I heard it's great fun to play online. The game itself works fine but when I try to load the server list to play online it just hangs or if it does load when I try and join it says 'could not connect to server'. I have broadband so there shouldn't be a problem. Anyone else get this? How can I fix it? Thanks.

Try ask this question again in our Gaming Forum (see left pane) i_XpUser

Do u have a router if you do then just directly connec your modem to your computer and then u can play. is something about the router that it doesn't let u i dont know maybe there is a way to play with it but again i'm only telling u what works for me.

Have you got a firewall? If you are using xp's firewall you have to add a rule to allow it or easier still turn it off and download a firewall and when it asks if you want it to connect.click yes this will allow the necessary ports to be opened. http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/index.php or http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/ company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp or http://www.kerio.com/kpf_download.html Good luck
