Hi all, having a problem playing Generals against my son - trying on a lan, me on my laptop and him on his. Whenever we try, we keep getting the message can't connect. Any help really appreciated. Chris.

Check the Windows Firewalls. |
Any old friends still on here can add me on discord @jcdenton2187. I'm far more likely to respond there. |

If you use mods then both computers have to be running the same mod. i know i've gotten it to work via direct connect before, just put the ip address of each computer into the other |

If both machines are using the same key the game will no connect, And its never the firewall i use to operate Generals with 3 of them, one linked to a central London server that would only OWN anything that conflicted with it.... |

Well that's my advice done? to my understanding 2 PC's using the same cdkey shouldn't have been able to connect.... |
