Most DSL modems have a hardware firewall built into them. You need to find out which ports your game uses and forward those to your computer from the modem.

I aint signing nothing!!!

Hey I actually fixed this problem...there is a patch for this problem on novaworld.... apparently some ISP's especially many European ones deal with caching differently interfering with logging into online games. My ISP however was no help with this at all....they just said it had to be a problem with Novaworld or my computer...grrr... anyway the patch works great!!!
