Cant get an account started

CIV4 is listed as an exception. I have XP SP2.

WOW

I can't get the internet game section of CIV4 to do anything. It can't login with my GS account and I can't create a new one. It doesn't even seem to do anything, it instantly says can't log you in.

any help out there?

You guys rock.

thanks all

What did u do????

I'm still not able enter the game browsing server!!!

I have registered at GameSpy (and verified).
Civilization 4 is checked on my excerption list (i've tried both with windows firewall turned on and off - and i have no other firewalls).

Somebody please help!!

Note - its must "know" me somehow - because if i enter a wrong password its says "loginattempt has failed" and if I enter correct password it says "the connection to the game browser server has failed"!!!
 
Got it!!!!!

It turned out that the answer to my prayers lied deep inside my McAfee Virus Console!!!

According to this thread:

"If you are using McAfee, open up your VirusScan Console, open up "Access Protection" and then look for "Prevent IRC communication". Uncheck the box(s) next to that/those options and you're set!!!!"

Bingo!! it worked right away - didn't even had to restart civ 4!!

The internet is a fantastic invention - it solves all the problems we wouldn't have without it ;-)
 
I'm having the same problem as everyone else here but still can't fix it. I'm not using McAfee, and I was actually able to connect to the GameSpy server BEFORE 1.52.

Edit: I figured it out. Was a program called PeerGuardian and it was block the HTTP
