Maybe you were just the first person popped into a new lobby channel (after so many log in, the server makes a new channel and starts putting people there instead to manage the load). You might try simply manually joining the channel with the number one lower.

LOL I love posts like that. "Same problem".....lol I guess you might mean, you're experiencing the same "symptom". How do you know you two have the same "problem"?

Maybe he's got some software "blocking" a portion of network traffic needed for ICO, and maybe for you its a router/modem firewall (or one of the other multitude of things which can/will get in the way of proper network communications)?

/end rant


Thanks for making my day...  :D 


btw. Please download/read my latest guide "Networking and SINS" for tips on having a problem-free SINS-gaming/hosting experience. It is linked-to from the "Technical FAQ" in the "technical" forum.

If you have trouble implementing anything in said guide feel free to contact me via xfire (the1monk) and I'll help you with the implementation.

As for the OP problem, I had it as well. I was behind a fire-wall, when I enabled my DMZ it wasn't an issue for me. I'm guessing you already tried this, but hey, never know.
