Hi
i'm sad player behind firewall. But my admin says that all ports I need are open(I showed him readme file).
But 99% of games I try to JOIN ends with connection faliure message ("check if you have ports open", "check if host not behind firewall", etc...)
But one time I got connected and I've played nice few hours long game (with one guy from USA and one UK - I'm from Poland BTW) without any problems.
Until that game I was convinced I cant play due to firewall.. But now it looks like I can...
Now I wonder very hard what is causing that I cannot join 99% of games??
Is it lags or what?? (I have hi speed connection)
I heard that if any player in game (in staging window) have green zero (0) instead pings number that this game won't go... (due to firewalls problem.. is that true?

CAN ANYONE HELP ME??

There is a stickied thread above this thread on pings and firewalls. Also, the European PTW is slowly being released in Europe...
