Do you have a router and/or firewall?
-If so, in the main menu of the game, Click "Options". Then "Network", and check off "I am behind a firewall or proxy". When you click it, another check will auto-check. Make sure "old connection mode (for firewalls)" is it.

This may also be a factor. Your Port Number. Once again, click Opitons>>>Network. and look at your "Use Port" number. For most people, it's port number 1626, and the sec port is 1627. That's for some people, for others, the port numbers would likely set themselves.

Check that out and see if there's still a problem.[/quote]
