I used to have a problem every time, and my anti-virus was always the culprit. Re-Allow both the coh .exe and the updater .exe even if it says it's allowed. That always solved it for me.

Check your anti-virus or firewall settings, it really depends on what you are using.
There is usually a tab for 'Exceptions'. That is where you would select each executable and set to 'Allow'.
Perhaps provide some details as to which Anti-Virus and/or firewall programs you are running, and your Operation System. There will be someone who will know exactly where you need to go, and what to click on.

You are supposed to MAKE an exception for City, not just check whether you have one or not.

So if it doesn't list CoH and the updater, you have to add them.
get rid of whatever virus protection you have now and get avast or one of the other free virus protection programs. i have never had a problem with it.
Ok, so i went to Windows Firewall and added COH and the uninstaller to the Exception list, it's still not working and those were the only ones COH related on the list of things to add.
Slope, you might want to have a Mod move this to the Technical Issues & Bugs forums where the guru's are more likely to spot it. Hopefully this can get resolved for you. 
You're best bet is to send a PM to Moderator 08.

I'll explain exactly what happened.
Opened COH and entered log in info. Notice popped up so i kept restarting the game. Didn't work. Opened the internet and it worked perfectly. I looked around to see if anyone else had the problem. Exited internet and opened COH again. Nothing worked. Opened internet, internet wasn't working but COH still connected and certain websites worked.
Now, the desktop internet is broken. The other computers work fine. Did COH have anything to do with the internet problem?
(I'm getting a new modem to fix old internet problems and a computer guy should be coming in a few days, but i want to know more about this)
As you can tell my internet is working. But every time i try to log on to COX that pop-up comes up that comes up when you don't have a good connection. Servers are up, anyone have this problem before?
