<r> Sorry to report I uninstalled the game and made a second request for a refund.&nbsp; I've wasted hours trying to get the game set up to work in MP.&nbsp; My last effort was a a friend's house (he has DSL vs my Cable Modem).&nbsp; Same problems there too.<br/>
<br/>
As a fan of CC from the ...

<r> I can join some games with certain people, and I can host games with certain other people, but largely I cannot join other peoples games. Some people cannot see my ip (cannot ping me).<br/>
<br/>
I was looking at the advanced settings on my router and is there a way I can route to my local LAN ...

I have been able to connect both on and off the DMZ.&nbsp; That doesn't seem to make a difference, but I was putting myself on their to rule out my router's firewall.

I think the issue now is my cable modem.&nbsp; Apparently people cannot ping me.

I agree that the background noises should not confuse those sounds on the immediate battlefield. But I love the ambient noises otherwise.

Where does the in game name come from?

I noticed that the name in game is different from my BHQ and MMCC3 name.

Yes thanks - I was actually in a game!!!

I found someone I can connect with.

XP Pro.&nbsp; I put myself on the DMZ.&nbsp; Not ideal - but until I figure out what the issue is that will do.

<t> Update - I can connect in the regular HtH multiplayer via Battle HQ.<br/>
<br/>
But still cannot connect with the same player in MMCC3.<br/>
<br/>
Echmuhl - honestly I don't understand what you are saying.&nbsp; If I can connect through Battle HQ are you still concerned about that issue?<br ...

Have you run the server.exe before running the MMCC3 client, like it says in the manual?<br/>

See this is part of the problem ...

<t> What have I not done (see my router config above) that remains to be done?&nbsp; Is there a specific post (and I'm not talking about reading through someone else's support thread) that details how to connect to a MMCC3 game?<br/>
<br/>
I've tried connecting to 3 opponents now with no luck ...

<r> I spoke to soon.&nbsp; I finally found some games to connect to and now I get this error:<br/>

To narrow it down this is only in the battle hq app. I've seen no issue with the main game.

Thanks for all your help!

Ok that worked.&nbsp; I reread the manual and honestly this part is not clear.

Another question: the default port doesn't work.&nbsp; I used the port in the manual.&nbsp; Is there a list of ports somewhere?

Here is my DxDiag.txt

<r> Long time CC fan. The only reason I bought CC:CoI was for the MM mode.<br/>

I assume it works, but I cannot get it to connect.<br/>

I forwarded the ports on my D-Link router:<br/>
