Every online game crashes

[Red_Wraith]

I got both TSF and JJ2 and the newest versions. I also have got the newest server list patch. When I join a game the game crashes after about 30 seconds. I asked one of the hosts and he said he didn't kick me. What can I do to play online without losing the connection every 30 seconds?

Thank you.

Oh, and this ('http://link.idlegames.com/~cbruton/jj2_gateway.html').

Thank you....

I opened the ports 10052 upd, 10052 tcp, 10054 udp and 10054 tcp in my software firewall. I also forwarded the ports from my router to my PC. I still have the same problem although it works perfectly with other online games for which I forwarded the required ports. :(

I also disabled the XP firewall.

Do you mean the game crashes? (completely exits unexpectedly with\without an error message)
Or do you just get disconnected? (JJ2 does not exit; only the game ends with a "Connection timed out" message)

If the latter is the case, opening\forwarding the correct ports is the only solution. If you have done that, there is still something blocking the connection. We can't really help you further here, because it is a specific problem with your network configuration.

But if forwarding\opening works for other games, just not JJ2, you may have done something different or your router does not forward UDP correctly. Do the other games you use use UDP? (and thus require UDP forwarding)

(Note: You do not need to forward 10054 TCP because it is used for an outgoing connection only (to the list server). Port 10054 UDP is not used by JJ2, and does not need to be forwarded and port 10052 TCP only needs to be forwarded if you want to host games. However, these ports still may need to be opened in your firewall(s) to allow outgoing connections)

Yes, I mean disconnected.

Yes, they do. Thus I don't understand why JJ2 doesn't work. Disabling my firewall doesn't fix the problem either.

Some routers have options to put computers in a non-protected zone. It's amazingly insecure. But you could try doing it, just to see if it works that way. Maybe we can help you a little more then.....

I had the same problem, when I installed the game, and went into Jazz to play it on the Internet, I would be able to play for 30 seconds. Then it would time me out. Then I downloaded the 1.23 patch seeing as I had the 1.22 version. Then I installed the server patch and chagned the ports, and now it seems to work.

What do you mean by "I changed the ports"?
I think I have installed the server patch already.
