Sounds like software shenanigans to me. Do you have anything like AdAware installed? It can also block programs, depending on what you set it to do.

This may also be of some use. It should tell you if your ports are blocked. I found that Shields Up lies to me. This seems to do a little better ...

I'm glad my stupid question sparked some enthusiasm! I think a squad game on the front page would be a great idea! Unfortunately, I have no Fraps experience beyond watching the videos, so clearly I have no idea how much work is involved. Good luck to you though!

Oh well holy crap. Search function wins again! I was looking in the wrong forum. Thanks for the help, folks!

I'm new so pardon me if this has been suggested or exists somewhere; I just haven't found it yet.

Would anyone be willing to record their matches for public viewing? I would love to see the game played the way it's supposed to be played. I'm still propelling my worthless ass around in Scouts to try ...

Holy @#(! I got it working. I went into my router and disabled uPnP. I can't believe I didn't notice that little tidbit on the wiki. I feel like an ass, but thanks for your help!

Any idea why this works? I'm not a networking expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once and I just don't get ...

Yea no dice. Still the exact same issue. It's definitely my router. I tried firing up my laptop to try it on there and discovered that it won't start. I'm getting three beeps every few seconds which I'm assuming is an overheat alarm. No clue why...haven't used the thing in some time and when I put ...

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try that out tonight if I have time and let you know what happens.

I'm posting from work (stickin' it to The Man) so my info here will be a little incomplete.

Windows Version (and Service Packs): Vista 32bit updated fully (checked last night)
Processor Speed: AMD Athlon 3200+ (I think) dual core
RAM: 4gb

So I got home all amped up to play and again I can't connect to the lobby. Ports 2300-2400 have mysteriously closed in the hours of inactivity. I suspect gremlins. I have no problem with any of this nonsense when I bypass my router and connect straight to the computer so it's clearly not a software ...
