I seem to keep either disconnecting or crashing when connected to my Host friend's computer during MP. When I say "disconnect", I mean that the game pauses and all I see is "Paused waiting for network data" indefinately. Meanwhile the game continues on for the Host but he'll eventually see that I quit on his side. Also, for some reason, my friend can never seem to connect to me when i try to host a game. But when i connect to him, the connection is instantanious.
Today I put my router into "DMZ" to see if that would make any difference. My friend still cannot connect to me but i can connect to him when he hosts. So we seem to be able to play for sometime without the network pausing the game. But a few minutes into the game I freeze and then get the message "CMSF.exe has stopped working". On my friend's side the match still went on but a minute or so later it says that i quit. Now I am also behind another router which is for my Internet Phone line. Is that something i should look into changing the settings as well?
