hmmm any ISP changes perhaps? also is it plugged in? (always gotta ask XD ) can you do other stuff on the net? also sometimes when you go to host a game the first time it rejects it but then the second time you click host game it works fine :?

Don't rack your brains out just yet. Been looking at hosted games today, the only ones I've seen hosted are those that are fairly close to the lobby server. The lobby server has been a bit of a ghost town. Wait until you see a lot of games hosted until you suspect your own setup.

Seen a game hosted from my country, but they have digital cable. I'm assuming there is a bottleneck somewhere and it will get worked out.

If you haven't set up a static IP for your PC, it's possible you're not getting the same IP via DHCP from the router any more.. could be several reasons for that.

When doing portforwarding it's always best to give your machine a static IP just to make sure.

The problem was on my end, my computer had changed my private IP for some reason so i adjusted it on my router.
