Cannot Join MP Games

[Guest]

Hosting:
Okay basically i create an MP Game on zone..... ppl join
my room, i launch, i get in, nobody else does. I've tried
it out with random people and also in those a friend who
is on teamspeak, he tells me he gets the "Unable to Join
Game" Message. The IP I am given when i launch and click
IP at the bottom is like xxx.xxx.0.xxx and because of
that .0. it's not a valid IP, at least thats what i've
been told.

Connecting:
Okay, this is simple. Friend makes game, i join room,
wait for random people, friend launches. All going well
so far... I am connecting, it takes AGES [if ull pardon
the pun [AGE of empires] ]... then it just says "Unable
To Join Game"

My Operating System:
Microsoft Windows XP Pro, Pentium 3, GeForce 4 MX 440
Graphics Card [even though i don't think its anything to
do with the graphics], 256Mb Ram, 8x Speed Cd Rom Drive.

Much Appreciated If Someone could Reply To My email
Because I Probably Won't Be Checking Here Very Often.

Hi,

If you're Unable to Launch or Join games it's usually a firewall problem
that can be solved by using the Network Routers and Firewall Section:
