Well, it finally happened to me... I can't play IL-2 online at my present location... End of world! :lol:
I'm behind a 512/512 connection with a SMC "ADSL Barricade SMC7204BRA"
My computer is plugged directly into the barricade, and so is another computer in another location in the house. I've played IL-2 online with this barricade, but with different computers... This time I've brought my normal gaming PC with me, and before you ask, yes, it's the same PC I normally use, and firewalls and antivirus are configured to work with IL-2 as per normal use.
I've tried to open up the ports as I best can, but it seems that something still is amiss, and due to the utility for it being very unintuitive, I can't find anything else that I might have missed...
I'm able to play other games online without any previous adjustment to the router/barricade thing, such as Counterstrike, Empire: Total War, Rise of Flight, just to name a few.
Hope someone has a solution...
Cheers

Edit:
Time to move this one back to the top...
I found out that there was a second router/adsl barricade (call it what you will) in the house, in a drawer. So I dug it out and plugged it in, it's a SMC7904BRA2 but the same problem persists.
Whenever I go to join a server it just sits there saying "please wait" and then I get the timeout.
The router's built-in firewall, my antivirus and my firewall on the pc are completely turned off, and offcourse the retarded windows default protection software are disabled (Windows defender and windows firewall)
I have a sneaky feeling at this point that it most likely is a problem with my ISP, but if anyone has any suggestions, please go right ahead and post.
I will be calling them tomorrow and inquire wtf is going on, since this has worked before at this location with this router, and since EVERYTHING else works flawlessly... :roll:
Lastly, I need to know what ports IL-2 uses for communication inbound and outbound, I know about port 21000, but is that the only one?
