I'm having a bit of a problem with cfs3. If i host a game i find that afterwards i'm unable to join anyone else's game, it just sits on the "connecting" screen for eternity.
Does anyone know the reason for this? Thanks in advance.

Stark what firewall(s) are you using? And have you opened the ports through them?

I find firewalls difficult to set up for gaming so i switch them off before i play.

I think its because the version of cfs3 that you have: if you have the 3.0(like me) you only can play with the people with this version. But there are problems, because i cant make a match: when i create one the people can't get in....

I'm using the fully patched version of the game. I have discovered that the problem lies in my USRobotics modem/router. The only way around it that i've managed is (after i've hosted a game) to reinitialise the modem. Once it's reset and reconnected to the internet i have no problem connecting to other peoples games.
I hope this post will help anyone else who's being driven potty by this problem.
