Title: Can Not Connect To Game {Manager}
Post by: Xtrepid on November 20, 2016, 08:54:28 AM

I DL'd AH-III, and it will not let me connect. Tried allowing firewall thru manually, and still does not connect.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

If you can get to the bulletin board, but the game cannot connect to the game manager, then it usually means something is blocking the game from connecting.

Anti-xxxx perhaps?  What firewall are you running?

Running just windows firewall I believe, Skuzzy... and windows defender...  :headscratch:

Checked the logs and the IP address you are posting from does not show up in the logs at all.  This means there is no network communications reaching the server.

Are you sure your router does not have a firewall enabled in it?

Reset the router defaults, and that seems to have solved it... thank you, Sir...

Guess I'll have to dust off the cob webs, if that's possible... and check out AH-III...  :joystick:

Thanks, again...

Glad you got it sorted out.
