System specs?

After uninstalling have you deleted any left over files or folders that effect CFS3?

When did this first start happening? Did you install something just before?

You need 3.1a.

Go to the CFS3 website and download the patch and the bomber gauge fix. Then try again.

I don't know much about routers. Try opening all of them to see if that is the problem, then you could either ask someone more knowledgable on the topic or use trial and error to find the specific ports needed.

As for an ip, I can't help you there. You should have a list of servers to join. I can't really remember, I only tried CFS3 online on a couple of occasions.

Have you created a user account? Bottom left hand corner it asks you to log in. Have you done this? I've just tried and it gave me a network error of some description, but if you've not done this then try it and report back.

Zone.com which is who hosted the login stuff and the inernet (WAN) servers has stopped hosting online games for ALL cd Games (yes i know they are dumbasses) I am looking for a LAN server to play on

CFS3 didn't use zone.com and even if it did, other websites such as gamespy took it's place when they closed it. Unless you computer is on a network you won't find any LAN games.

Have you got any other games where multiplayer works?
