Could not connect to server - server on

[Mac70]

Hello, I have very odd problem - I see "could not connect to server" all the time, since about one year (!) and I don't know how to make the game working. I tried to switch firewall off, it did not help. Anyone has suggestions how to fix it? The same happens with another game, Dawntide.

you probably got connection problems or something else.

I know, but what kind of problems that can be?

The fact that it's happening with other games means that it is definitely on your end. Things to check:

is your internet connected (obviously is in this case since you can post and read here)?

Are all Firewall, antivirus programs, or other software that could block internet connections working and configured correctly (please see documentation on these)? Note that you might have specific ports you need to open to play some games. I can never remember what these are for HnH and they can vary per game.

Are you playing from a location that might have further restrictions on internet activity such as a school, work, public location? There's little you can do here, though if it's a University access (for personal and not class use), you can usually get the IT department to open the blocked ports. Otherwise, you might have to go with a proxy to get through this. I can't really recommend any free proxies that are efficient enough for game/broadband use.

I think I might know what's wrong with it.
