Cant Connect; Host times out
« on: May 14, 2004, 07:59:15 PM »
I was on yesterday (b29) fine. I could tried get on this morning (b29) on Host times out (12 sec then alt route 12 sec time out).

I just dl'd b30 and I still can't connect.

I checked all the obvious (firewall etc..)

I can surf, login to AH1 etc....

Any hints?

Same here. Since beta 28 I have been getting Host Timeouts. I never had a problem before and I haven't done anything to my Dlink router's firewall. I can connect to AHI and all other games with no prob.

Any ideas?

The same here.  I have not been able to get on to AH2 because the host times out.  This has been happening since patch 28.  Thought the problem would be corrected in subsequent patches, but no joy.  Just downloaded patch 29 and 30 and it did not work.  I then removed AH2 and reinstalled the full version of AH2 and get it still times out.  :confused:

Can you guys having this problem post what kind of firewall or router you're using if any?  Looking for a common connection.

I have a DLink DI-614+ wireless router.  I haven't changed any settings on it. I run no software firewall on my system. AHI and all other games connect fine over the net. Only AHII is giving me the host connect problems. Before beta 28 I was able to connect with all previous betas.

Same here. prior to Patch 28 I had no problems with AHII beta.
I have a dsl connection through SBC and their router is a D-Link DFE-528TX PCI Adapter, which is firewalled via control panel, internet options, etc.   I disabled the firewall and still get host timed out message.
