Silly question here...but have you forwarded the recommended ports?
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/

I recall a similar issue about 2 weeks ago when trying to start a 2v2 game. Be sure that your firewall is allowing access to the ports (as well as your router) and had the mph.exe file(s) accepted in exceptions. Alternatively try connecting to a 2v2 game with your firewall/AntiVirus disabled as a temporary experiment to see if it works. ;)

What is your routers manufacturer? Which model is it? I'm not sure how different your router configuration panel is to mine but:

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/R6300/Command_and_Conquer_Red_Alert_2.htm

 

Check that page out. The ports will be the same for all routers for RA2.

This thread may be able to help. Although if you're DMZ'd you shouldn't have an issue.

Okay, all the ports that you need to forward are literally on this page:

EDIT: And what Sean said.

You DO NOT need to forward ports with DMZ enabled.

 

Check your windows firewall, internet security suite firewall, windows internet connection settings. In some cases the problem can be caused by your networking hardware (PC) or software.

 

Maybe this information will help : http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/windows-8-iis-8-concurrent-requests-limit

 

know how to take a screenshot and open/save it on win8

 

Press 'prtscn' key on your keyboard and open paint or download paint.net then create a new image file and paste it into it ( while the graphics editing software).

Are you on a warning level? If not, then use a browser such as Firefox or Google Chrome. (I use FireFox, switched back from Chrome)
