I just recently moved, and here they use a hardware firewall.
I opened all ports on the hardware firewall to my computers local ip and installed a software firewall (sygate) at once. But when i try to log in to gs lobby it says: "connection to the game browsing server failed", with:"Server unreachable" in title.
I have tried the last 48 h, at least. The strange thing is that if i enter the wrong password for my gs account it says "login attempt failed" just like normal.
Why cant i log in?
Before i moved i have played like 500 MP games, most of em with good success. Only civ4 MP is affected, everything else works flawless, like: civ4 SP, web browser, anti virus update, software firewall etc.
im not using windows firewall, neither do i use any other program during my attempts. os is xp, and i have reinstalled civ and updated it then restarted civ with shift a numrous times...
Any ideas? (the civ cravings are really starting to itch:/)
Thanks in advance.
