Make sure all players are using the same version of the game. For players to connect with one another, they must use the same version of the game. We recommend that all players upgrade to the latest version of the product. Download and install Microsoft DirectX.

To determine if this problem is the broadband hardware, connect directly to the Internet without any device except the DSL or cable modem. If the problem no longer occurs, contact the hardware manufacturer with the ISP or network administrator to correctly configure the connection properties.

Maybe the hardware manufacturer has released a firmware update for a router to solve a particular problem in a game or a specific simulation. A firmware update can also install or improve existing features of the device, such as Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).

A firewall software is a security system that acts as a protective boundary between a network and the outside world. If you have installed a software firewall, it can prevent the computer from connecting to other computers or servers to participate in a multiplayer session. Examine the notification area (the small area in the lower right corner of the screen) to see if it is running a firewall on your computer. If disabling the firewall resolves the issue, contact the manufacturer of your firewall software to see how to configure the firewall so that it works with your game or simulation.
