I have tried to make an account before to play Zero Hour online... It would tell me wrong password and crap like that.

Now when I click the Online button I get stuck at the Checking for updates screen. Is anyone able to help me?

Do you have The First Decade??
If you do that one is already up-to-date.

And do you have a router??
For me this was the cause. I had to set up portforwarding for Generals + ZH

I have TFD & I'm not too sure what a router is... I probably don't have one.

I uploaded an image of what it shows me after I click the Online button under the Multiplayer catagory.

Judging the picture it HAS to be a firewall. If you have it alowed on your PC it's most likely you have a router with firewall.

Your router is a little box connecting you with the internet. In most newer versions it can also have VoIP phones plugged in.

This site can help you on finding the correct settings per router and game/program
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

If it doesnt read below

Right Click -> Status at your Network Icon on your startbar
Click 'Details'
Search 'Gateway' or 'IPv4 Gateway' and write down the number it is folowed by.
Fill this number in IE or Firefox and you should be shown a Web Interface


If that doesn't help you you can find it with only your PC's IP:

To get to the Web Interface check your computer's IP. (something like 192.168.1.12)
To get to your router make sure the first 3 series are the same (in this case 192.168.1)
The last digit is either 1 or 254. With one of these you should get into your router's web interface.
So you will fill in 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 in IE or Firefox or w/e

Here you can configure portforwarding.
