He means are they the original cds or cdr copies. Do you use a proxy? If so it may be setup not to allow game traffic. (I know that this is the case for myself)

OK
I setup HL from original CD
I setup UT from my HD (Because my UT CD is broken).........
One more question.............
What difference between original and back up???

Betamax

original = shop bought cd
backup = a 2nd copy that you make yourself.

This is probably not the problem as you have an orginal for HL. could you describe what happens when you try to start a muiliplayer game, any messages etc...

Ok sounds like a proxy. You can check if you are using a proxyby opening internet options in control panel, going to connections tab then click settings. see picture below. (the reason for the black bars is I don't want anyone getting hold of my account details)

Ok scratch that one off the list. Next which version of hL or UT are you using. You will find it difficult to connect to any servers if you don't have the latest version. These are:

For HL : 1.1.0.6

For Ut: 436

You can check the version numbers by:

For HL: right clicking on HL.exe, and select properties

For UT: run the game the number in the top right of the screen.

If they are earilier versions patches are availible at the following links:

HL: ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/patches/pc/hl1106.exe

UT: http://www.unrealtournament.com/downloads/

Both games I already updated............

Damn I'm running out of ideas. In Ut when you click on each tab is there any servers listed or did you mean that each one was empty.

In UT every tab was empty.................
Anyway tomorrow I will buy new ISP and test it.............:)

:confused: Well that would be my list completely exhasted. Its obviously not communicating with the master servers for either half-life or UT. The only thing left is the isp (as you said). Sorry I couldn't be more help.:(

You old one must have been setup not to allow online gaming. There are a few like that over here also. In my case unfortunately since april I am charged extra for online gaming hence I have had to give it up as of late. However it doesn't stop me fragging the rest of the family on my network:D
