Check your router ports, these ports have been reported to me that may need to be opened for Directplay. I don't have a router, but something that has been passed on to me1900/6073/23456 for DirectPlay

Dave, Do you know what port 1900 is used for? I checked my connection and I do not show that port open.Thanks,Nick
