The selected area in the picture is where I'm having a problem. I've used both IE and Firefox. All my stuff is updated. I've checked the requirements.

I'm wondering if this connection issue is on my end. I get confused when it says "outside their network".

Can someone help me out?

[FYI: I used netscape for a better screen but the results were the same on the two browsers mentioned above.]

Same thing for me. Just host a server, you get no lag! 

please help us! I have the same problem for months.. i tried opening firewall, disabling dmz, but nothing changed..

ACtually i found out i get this error exclusively from Legions, nothing else.

but it doesnt do *chocolate cookie*, and from what i have gathered from the lack of support, noone knows what ports need to be forwarded.

Putting your IP on the DMZ of your router will solve the problem, but its very insecure.

tell us the goddamned ports used or we cant beta test your game.
