Huh.. so.. what exactly is the problem? If you can run other online games okay, you'll be fine.

Might be your firewall blocking the game information that's coming in.

Off-topic : In case of further needs of this GameToast sub-forum, be sure to attach as many Precise Details and Resources referring to the problems you are running into, since all I can say for now is that understanding what is the exact Issue you have talked about so far isn't that obvious. Next, if I have not mistaken about the Subject dealt with this thread, I would suggest providing me a little more Informations regarding all the Entertainment Softwares you have attempted to play online so far, such as their Release Dates or Datas related to the latest Updates developped and available for them, etc...

Any sort of Anti-Virus program running? They might have a 2nd firewall setted up.

Off-topic : For a while, I equally used to deploy and maintain two different Firewall Softwares on most of the Personal Computers I have access towards, but the fact proceeding so may not be that recommended and efficient has indeed been proven through this way, and that's why I have chosen to keep only one of them set up on these same Microsoft® Windows-based Platforms. On the other hand, being eventually forced to temporarily deactivate such a Critical Program isn't that tempting, and that's why mastering this Security Strategy's Important Part has become so much welcome and appreciable nowadays...

Sattelite internet will not play online games. There is a 1/4th of a second delay between the data your computer sends up to the sattelite and the response sent back. Sorry, mate.

Off-topic : I knew such sorts of Internet Connections might cause a few troubles towards some of the persons having decided to engage a Subscription proposed by Companies having become specialized into this Communication Means, but as I guess you mustn't be the only User being somewhat frustrated by this Restriction, I would perhaps advise you to take contact with your Internet Services Provider as soon as possible, in order to figure out whether Options dedicated to the Online Playing of Video Games have not been introduced and proposed to its Customers...
