I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I am having problems in multiplayer. I know I am not the only one my freind has had the same problem. When I get into the first 5 min or so of 4on4, 3on3, 2on2, and 1on1 of multiplayer the game says "Waiting for server". When i get back to gamespy everone else is still playing. I have XP if that could cause issues.
PLEASE HELP THANKS.

It could be XP's firewall that's blocking the game, though I'm not sure about that. What kind of a connectiond do you have? It might be that your connection isn't fast enough? Or maybe the connection of the host isn't fast enough.

I have a linksys cable.

Win XP has a built in firewall you can disable, also I think the linksys modem could have a hardware firewall ( it might just be the router that has it , I'm not sure)

i know it is xp could i get a little help in disabling the internal firewall?
