Tiberian Sun online, I can't play the game online Options

[Scorch]

After many failed attempts to play Tiberian Sun online, I resorted to coming here.


At the Firestorm main menu, I click Internet to connect. I go through the process of "blah blah use of trainers blah..." and a pop-up, well, pops up, telling me that it is searching for a patch. At that point, another screen pops up informing me that it could not connect, and that I should restart as it is probably my connection to the internet that is at fault.

I know this is not so, my connection to the internet is excellent. The computer I am playing the game on is a little slow itself, but that should not the problem as it is just a little stupid. It works moderately, and should not be the problem.


Maybe I will have to install the game on my other computer, but it is brand new, and I don't want to, you know what I mean, screw it up somehow.


Suggestions?
