You guys and your service is simply second to none.

Cudo's to the crew, beers on me, it's time to play :D

I'm curious as hell as to what it was.

Good show AH, you never fail.

Sory but still can't connect.
No host timeout,,,,just you can't connect.
This is the first time I've had any trouble with AH2.

Im curious also nopoop.
What it has to do with is the code to permit zone alarm to minimize AH. The hole problem stems from an incorect method that zonealarm uses to block access while  it is waiting for your user input.

None full screen apps, are not effect by this problem, because you can still see ZA. To fix this problem I put 1 part of the connect process that ZA intercepts into a different thead. This allows me to minimize AH while ZA is asking for a responce. All I did to get you guys working again was to back out that thread function.

Still have no idea why it works on most machines, but not some. Going to try another aproch to see if I can get both to work.

That's interesting. I don't run zone alarm and configured the remote firewall at SBC to let everything through. Seems the problem mostly effected SBC DSL customers. What's strange is that the problem was only in AH2.

I'll reconfigure the firewall back to allowing TCP again and see what happens.

I use Win98se OS, with  zone alarm installed, everytime I update, and then start the game, after AH2 screen minimizes to let ya check ZA to let it access the net, I have to close AH2 and restart it.

If I try to maximize it after clicking ok for ZA it never comes back up it just sits there blue/greyish screen, this has started since like patch  21 or 22, if I recall correctly was ok before patch 21. Also I am using patch 30 (31 & 32 not installed)

outside of the ZA issue I connect fine and fast to the server.

Didnt fix for me.

Before last patch it would go directly to host timed out without counting seconds. Now it counts seconds off but still cant connect, Then it locks up & I have to cntrl+alt+delete, (AH2 not responding) to close it.

I had AH II running untill Patch 34 now i'm getting host timed out again. Running windows XP Radeon 9800 pro vid card. I just put the video card in the day after i got AHII to run which was Thursday the 20th of may could that have caused the problem. I also have norton anti-virus and internet security on my puter but i always tell the internet security to allow the connection to AHII.
