Dear players.

I have bought battlefield 1942 and it was a really nice game ,
i have played the singleplayer game and it whas really nice

then! I wanted to play it online. I saw a server list and i saw verry much servers.
I wanted to go in a server but this message will come up: Unable to connect to server, I tried another one but the same message,

I have looked in my internet security [zonealarm] and put them all on but still nothing works.

I have tried cd 2 but that doesnt work either for online

I hope you can ghelp me

wait,, someone said: You need to open your ports or something, But i dont know wich ports i need to open and how ? I have the firewall Zonealarm

I thought this ports but not for sure

Allow UDP Port 14567
Allow UDP 22000 (This is only for LAN games, and used by computers on the same network)
Allow UDP range 23000-23009
# GameSpy Master Server UDP Heartbeat:
Allow UDP Port 27900
# GameSpy Master Server List Request:
Allow TCP Port 28900

but how to open?

They might mean the ports with your ISP.

ok i had same problem, turn zone alarm completely right click shutdown zone alarm, i had same problem but with gamespy, it had spy init so it blocked it even tho i allowed it, if that helps

You have to call up whoever your ISP is and ask them to open them. But that probably isn't the problem.

Its very unlikely that your ISP is blocking those ports. The simplest way of identifying whether its software or hardware is to connect your pc right to your ISPs modem and try it. No go -> Software on your PC, Ready to go then firewall config. Try this and itll at least narrow down what your problem is

Do you use a router? if so you have to open the ports on that. typically this can be done by opening your internet browser and typing the ip to your router. this is 192.168.1.1 depending on your router it will ask you for a user name and password typicaly your default user name and passwords are these.
admin pass
admin password
admin admin
administrator pass
administrator password
admin default
administrator default
then the routers admin panel should show up. click on a link leading you to port fowarding typically a game uses both tcp and udp so we should select that option. then we add your starting port and ending port. now you need to asign your ip. so goto run and type cmd. then run ipconfig /all. find your computers ip address and the last number for example 192.168.1.41 is my routers assigned ip. so it would ask you to put that it. now your router may be assigning your ip dynamic. in this case you will need to either set your router to reserve a ip for your computer or set up a static ip. this should work.
