I've used the port checker, and I get

This means it should be all fine. (apart from NAT, and that's only for AFTER I've joined a game)

Then I go to Multiplayer, I log in, and I click the join game button, and it comes up with a list of games, right?
Then when i try to join one, a window saying Connecting... comes up, and after a long time, it comes up with

The host could ot be found, the host may have quit or there may be connection issues, make sure you both have correctly configured connections, firewalls, and routers

Now, I cant figure out what's wrong, because a long long time ago I played online, but I cant remember what I might have changed to make me unable to connect to a game.

Yeah, I disabled them, both the Windows one and the Router one, no result.

EDIT:
It turns out I can join some games, but not others, for some strange reason, which I havent yet figured out yet.
And I can create games as well, though the fact that nobody joins isnt really my fault...

well yu may create them, but no one can see them..

It sounds like somthing firewally

Well, Im pretty sure people can see them, like after I created a new game someone joined, but then left

well is dawn of war in your exceptions list?

cause this happined when i first tryed to play BF 1942?

then i tik it in the exceptions list all my problems went away! EX for lag lol

Yes, but it wouldnt matter in any case, I can join some games, but not the majority. And in any case, I turned off my firewall, and it made no difference.

I used to think I had a problem when I got this message but really it was because they didn't have a good ping/latency towards me :p So maybe changing chat rooms or hosting your own game will help
