Yeah, this is something screwy on my end, but I've been inconsistently able to conenct to the lobby. Like, I can't, and then I restart my router/modem, and then I can, and then eventually (like a day later) I can't anymore, and I can't figure out why.

Also other things are breaking, like sometimes I can't access email through IMAP, but then I restart the modem/router and I can again for a while, and then it breaks and I haven't quite been able to nail down what, when, or why yet.

Anyways, traceroute:

Maybe you have a problem with DirectPlay (UDP)?

The lobby server doesn't respond to ping requests.
