PBEM Problem

[aksully]

Hi, Maybe someone can help with a problem I just started having in setting up a MP Human PBEM game in C3C.

Once I select the scenario, select and name the human players and hit Launch...the scenario loads but hangs up at "Assigning team colors". So then I have to do ctrl alt del and it comes up saying Conguests Not Responding, then I exit out. Single play and saved PBEM someone sends me works. I just can't configure and start a new PBEM game.

HAs anyone run into this?

Does this happen whenever you do any kind of multiplayer? or just the pbem? If it does it all the time I would suggest disabeling upnp (or something like that) on your router. I was having this problem and that fixed it.

Striq, It happens all the time. What is UPNP? I am using a stand alone home computer. I connect to the internet via cable DSL.

All I can tell you was that I had the same problem and it was because of one of my router settings,,, i don't know what upnp is but that fixed my problem.

UPNP...Universal Plug and Play....the little I've read said its a mistake to disable UPNP. But at any rate..I quess I'll try contacting Atari for support.
Thanks though.
