This is for the host, right? I am not the host, I am not behind a router.
Games are already taking players, so their routers are already setup to take players
I am guessing. I should just be able to click on the name of the game to join.
Hm maybe the host is behind a Router/Firewall and playing together with a friend in LAN behind his firewall too. Do you have this Problem allways? If you want you can contact me on ICQ 48885678 and we try out.
lol Ryo is that your Ryos game 2 of 8 players i see every day?
i try to join but when i do it loads up 8 cpu player !?!? and i cant talk to or see anyone =(
it could even be a protocol or other conflict if that game dont have any open seats to it and they are taken up by IA players.. dont know just a guess on my part.

I've seen what I'm referring to is these "Ghost Games" as well, note however that I have recently hosted up to three successful multi player games (at least up until my WZ2100 crashed to the desktop) and left no "Ghosts." You can't join those games, I'm not sure what they actually are or what caused them but I am able to host a game with other people who can in fact see and join my game. Typically they do experience some lag but not as much as when you try to join the ghost game. Just be patient, it hasn't froze and will unlock in a second.
Also FYI in the lobby server, if the game has already been started, it won't show up. The only time it shows up is when the host clicks the "Host" button. As soon as he clicks "OK" then the game has commenced, it locks and will not display itself any longer in the Lobby.
If all you see is two games, those are the ghosts and no one is actually playing in them, behind a firewall or any other way, then there is no other games hosted and no one to play with. Also, I believe I saw another ghost come up today, there may be 3 ghosts now. Can anyone confirm this?

just checked 08:15 (British time) i saw 4 games, 2 i see every day. 2 others had 1 of 8 players with distinct names.
I tried to join and they also behaved in this ghost fashion
Hm, as of 4:49am EST Time I now see three that have been stuck there for a little bit. I do recall seeing an active game but have not bothered to connect to it. I have connected myself with 5 other people in different games and encountered no problems with the lobby server, great job guys... we just need to figure out whats causing these ghosts...
