Hi all, just wondering if anyone can help me here, i recently go ADSL and I have my computer connected through an ADSL Router. I wanted to play Return To Castle Wolfenstein over the internet, but none of the servers showed up. I think it's because im connected through the router. I have downloaded all the new patches, but it doesn't work.

Any Ideas??

I played Enemy Territory through a router with no probs. Check your firewall (Zonealarm, XP?) to see if Return to Castle Wolfenstein has permission to connect to the net.

I currently don't have a firewall, and the XP firewall is turned off. Anyone else had a problem like this before??

Check your router configuration - it my have its own firewall or you may need to manually configure IP adresses to enable direct access to your computer.

I had this problem, It happened to me cos of Norton Internet Security, all i had to do was customize the setiings for ET so it had full access to the net. Or you could disable Norton. Hope it helps

The thing is. I don't have a firewall enabled, and im not exactly shure what to set up on my router.
And I don't know why UT2004 works, and Wolfenstein doesn't, do they use a different system??
And how do I check if im behind a proxy??

Any Suggestions welcome!!
