So I got Windows Vista and installed my favorite game, Allegiance. But anytime I try to join the game it says failed to connect after a long delay. I've set the compatibility to XP SP2 and it is running as administrator...Any ideas?

Try turning uPNP on in your router.
If it's on, try turning it off.

uPNP
So far as we're concerned it allows applications (ie Allegiance) to tell your router what ports they need to operate.
I doubt Cisco will have it implemented on their routers.
With the release of R3 the toggling uPNP "fix" should no longer have any effect.
As ImmZ said above it's being blocked by a firewall either the windows vista one. Or the one on the Cisco router.
Or even more likely, both.

The Firewall feature on my Windows Vista is disabled. As far as the Cisco Router goes, it's pretty open. There's no specific firewalling going on, just basic NAT. Do you have anything more specific I can look at? What firewall features would block it?Arkof wrote:QUOTE (Arkof @ Jan 1 2007, 04:00 AM) uPNP

From what I read here, it looks like there is a bunch of options in the router that will beef up security a lot. It could be that one of these options are blocking Allegiance. I can only suggest experimenting around with these settings as I, personally, have no experience with Cisco routers.
Edit : One thing you'll definitely want to turn off is SPI. It'll lag down your connection a lot.

Why install a 3rd party firewall, which doesn't work with vista?!ImmortalZ wrote:QUOTE (ImmortalZ @ Jan 5 2007, 07:29 AM) Update : Do you use ZoneAlarm? If yes, try running it after uninstalling ZA.
QUOTE We anticipate delivering Vista-compatible versions in the coming months after January 2007 (Microsoft’s Vista planned release date). Due to the different needs and functionality of this new operating system, features and functionality on 2000/XP and Vista may differ from our current release.[/quote]

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.
