I have recently moved to France/Basel.I have access to the Neuf WiFi internet service but at the moment my line is not connected so i am using the wireless access part of my account.

I can surf the net,no problems ,all be it within a 2 hour cut off window,but i cannot connect to COH.

Has anyone got any ideas? Hair pulling out time!

Thanks in advance techie doods.

What sort of error are you getting?

EDIT: Based on your description of the service it may well be that the wifi portion blocks all gaming to save bandwidth. Unfortunately their site is in French and the only French I remember from high school is "Je n'parle pas Francais"

From what I can gather Neuf WiFi is a cellular data network? They're probably (very likely actually) blocking all non standard ports (aka, anything that isn't web pages/e-mail) to lessen the load on their service.

If so, you're pretty much out of luck.

EDIT: Even if it's a standard collection of 802.11g or whatever hotspots, they're probably doing some port blocking.

Hi there,

Yes the data blocking thing is kinda what i thought,do u think i'll be able to connect once i have the router and my own line set up with Neuf.

As for the French,all i can do is order coffee,dam hard here,swiss/French/German border ,i dunno if i am coming or going lol.

As for the error i am getting,i'm not,the Launcher just sits there and tries it heart out .

I wanna come home lol!

If it's a home internet connection through an actual physical cable, as opposed to some sort of 3G wireless data, then yeah, I think you'll be fine.

My french is really rusty so I can't really make heads or tails out of their webpage.

That definitely sounds like they're blocking it. As for your question, I would assume you will be fine once the land line gets setup (assuming your contract includes a sufficiently large bandwidth allocation) but that is really the sort of question you need to ask them (I'd also have recommended checking that before you signed the contract ).

Yeh i agree with the checking of contract etc,however its kinda beyond my involvement as the company is providing the contract for the internet,

Thanks guys for all your help,i am off to cry in the snow ! lol

Hope to be back soon
