Problems to connect to any server. =(

[voodoo19801980]

Hello, i have Rainbow Six 3 and the Iron Wrath Expansion, actualized to the latest version and no Firewall runing and valid CD-KEYS. The problem is that when i am in the finding servers screen, i can see them but when i am trying to connect any of them i got the waiting message so I wait but then the game got freezed and i have to ALT-TAB to get out of it, I am trying to connect since 2 weaks ago till today so I think the problem is not with the servers.

Please excuse my english i am fromn south america.

thank you.

Are you running a firewall of any kind? The Windows XP firewall maybe? Are you behind a router or do you connect directly to the internet?

If you have a firewall it looks like you have it configured to allow outbound connections by RavenShield.exe but not inbound ones. I remember Zone Alarm had an option to allow 'Internet' and 'Server' connections by each entry in the access list. Checking the 'Server' option allowed both in and outbound connections. Most firewalls have something similar to that.
