When exactly does it appear? Can you see any games listed at all after you've clicked on the "multiplayer" entry in the MMS menu on the left?

Are you using a router? If you are, then you need to open up a couple ports including 2 or 3 port ranges.

First of all, you need to assign a static Lan IP to your PC.
Then you need to configure your router (and your firewall as well) and open up / forward following ports:

TCP 47626, TCP 6073, TCP 2300-2400, TCP 28800-28900.

In some cases you also need to open / forward the following:

27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings)
6515 (Dplay UDP)

you can also try the "fix config" button in the options-window...
possibly this can help you as it fixes many simple problems.

in this case you have a prob with your router-config. you need to look for a manual for your router and then you have to activate "port-forwarding" to your comuter's ip...

just try to ask google. there are a lot of tips concerning port-forwarding and router. also there are a lot of tip inside this forum in the networking area ...

hi well as this seems to be the conection thread Iam having a nightmare lately.it started about 3 days ago hosting a game ...evrythin went fine until I got a pupop message from my norton antivirus in the middle of the game asking for permission or blocking godknows what .i think i blocked it as i cant remember very in all the frenzy of the battle .
i did not give much importance till the following day i tried to host again.
nobody joined.I know i am not grat player but i did not get any reaction of players.So after waiting for some time i joined another match.no problem.yesterday i tried hosting and after making some tests i realized i cant host anymore.Some players could not see my game.they were able to dl via ms my map but could not enter .
i have tried everything even checking my norton configuration.
I have a simple cable adsl modem conected directly to the telephone socket -computer.not a wireless router.
The worst comes now.After testing and testing I decided to reinstall the entire game but now I get a message "LIst out of bounds"all the time .
I doble checked the route to install the mod .even older versions that is rwm 65 ,66 and i encounter the same problem.
HEEEEEEELP :cry:

Either use medium security mode or search "unblocking ports" in help, you need to open the directx 8+ ports, and set "game mode" when you play (right click on the icon in the bottom right on your taskbar and select "game mode", then "allow all" minimise that whilst playing and select the turn off option that replaces the "allow all" button when you're done)

Either that or you've denied something that SS2 needs for MP play...
we shall fight them on the beaches and on the fields, we shall fight them in the streets and we shall never surrender, because there isn't a button for that :-) ) And we wont dig fortifications until SS3 =) or after it because the bastards didn't include it...

sorry, wrong antiviris... I thought you had zonealarm because notices from that have popped up whilst I was playing in the past (replace norton as soon as possible, it always messes stuff up...) Now I understand your situation I can give you this advice: "Either unblock the ports I said earlier on windows firewall or turn it off when you play and please, for your own good replace norton with Zone Alarm antivirus, AVG or another good, reccomended antivirus; just not norton! If you don't know how to unblock ports then search it on windows help"

I'm sorry for grave digging this topic, but I have a problem. I tried to set up my router as instructed in that other thread about networking, but I still cant see any games.
