MY son just bought the game and he is trying to play on-line but is getting a error msg that it failed to connect to server. Any ideas how to fix this or is it just an internet problem?

Are you running any kind of Firewall that may be blocking it?

We are behind Zone Alarm. It asks if we want BF1942 to connect to the internet and we say yes and we still get error msg. The link says that he has to open ports but I have no idea how to do that. I have checked zone alarm and cannot find how or where to open ports.

Farang, for the benefit of others who might have the same or a similar problem, would you describe what you did to solve this problem? If you have any Web page links to sites that helped, please add them as well.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry Dwight
My son went to gamespyarcade.com and downloaded patch 1.4. He had to pay $7US to join the club and he was able to download the patch and play online. The 7 bucks is for one month's dues so we will see if he is still able to play on line after the month is over.
