Hello All,

I'm hoping someone here can assist....

When I try to host online gaming, no one can join my server.

When I try to join myself via a remote server I get the following error:

Windows socket error: A connection attempt failed because the party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond (10060), on API 'connect'

I do have vonage which employs a router, but I have disconnected that and gone directly into the tower with an ethernet cable, so I know its not the router.

I called adelphia, and they say there is nothing they can do on their end, so I believe its a port that needs to be opened or maybe a service that needs to be enabled.

In any event I hope someone can help....

Thanks in advance...

Are you using any firewalls?

Hi tony,

Sygate is turned off as well as windows firewall, and just in case I added an exception in the windows firewall to allow Delta Force 2... still no joy....

thanks for the reply

Are you connected to a router? The router will have a firewall, and it will block ports unless they are forwarded. You can also put your computer in the "free fire zone" allowing all kinds of traffic.

Thanks for all of your help guys. It was a router issue with the lynksys vonage router.. had to open up ports.... used the DMZ feature...

Thank you all.
