If you're willing to let us help you, we can get you connected. I can't remember anyone who gave up this easily. Since everything is up and running yet you get a time out while trying to connect to the server, this tells us you are being blocked. Plain and simple. No rocket science here, however we must go one step at a time to eliminate the possibilities that might be blocking that connection. 99% of the time it's a 3rd party firewall or the remenants of one left over after uninstalling. Norton has a cleanup tool that MUST be used even after uninstallation in order to completely remove their software. It could be your linksys router blocking that traffic.

If you give up though, it's a 100% guarantee you'll never play the best game in space.

Linksys Wireless-G Router

model: WRT54GS V.2

I had a similar problem while using Vista when I first started playing. It ended up being a software-firewall problem. Vista and Allegiance work fine together.

The helpline guys here are topnotch and will get you up + running if you let them.

- Try connecting to the lobby with your laptop, if you own one. (Be aware of linking, if you borrow one) If it works outside your home net, but does not inside, the router is the problem
- Try changing the UPNP settings on your router. If it is on, turn it off, if it is off, turn it on.
- Use a cabled connection to access the net
- Check if you have any port forwardings active, that could be in the way.

well i tried everthing except the upnp setting dont know what or where to find that but nothing else is working i did have port fowarding for Total Annilation but i turned them off and it still dosent work. i went to a place with free wifi that didnt solve it either

ok i found the upnp its called network discovery on vista it was on i turned it off didnt work turned it back on dint work
