open the correct ports on your router.

You do need the correct port forwarding on your router, but when you get that sorted here is another thing to try for many folks experiencing error messages.

I always save the .exe file to my desktop (I use Firefox so this is a snap to setup, I even forgot how IE handles DLs), anyway, I save the file to the desktop and then run it. If I get a connect failed, or any other error message for that matter, I simply run the file again, no need to go back into the lobby. I have had to run the file 3 sometimes 4 times until I finally get in to game. Anything more than 3, well, it's a pretty safe bet that the host has given up. I know that some people just give up after one error message and return to lobby.

Good luck
