ditch the port-forward rules (they're no longer needed), so check your firewalls. Report back what you're using. If you've got norton or mcaffee, ditch them for something that works. (just to save you some time) /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />
McAfee is the culprit. You have to either remove it's built-in firewall completely (turning it off doesn't turn it off, go figure) or switch to an AV suite without a bundled firewall, like NOD32 or the release of Avast! without the firewall.

Stopping the McAfee firewall service and setting it to disabled ought to do the trick though.
Well.. mcaffee is the av, not the firewall. The firewall is windows generic. I am getting into the lobby, just not the game.
The AV was turned off at the time.
So, it's a partial connection ?
I'm guessing that mcaffee is the problem. Turning it off doesn't turn it off. You have to disable it and then reboot (making sure it doesn't reload after a reboot).
