no direct connect with 1.04 generals crack

[Veqryn]

even with the 1.03 generals.exe file, and the 1.04 game.dat file I can't play direct connect games, like I could when the game was just 1.03. I can play solo games but solo games suck. Anyone else encountering this problem? Also, I'm new here and I was wondering if these files are checked for viruses or trojan horses or key loggers or other stuff before they are posted? Thank you,
