i am not sure about that but when you host a game is there any option that says play length???aybe you have the option put at 10m(if it's there)and then the game stops

I think each one needs the same game version and different CD-Keys !!!

What do you mean by that?

Oh sorry, i was thinking you mean a LAN game, but you mean online. Don't know why you get this error.

In LAN game each one need the same game version (updated to newest version is best) and each one need his/her own CD-Key.
We had a LAN game and a friend has forget his own CD/Case/Key. We installed the game from a backup with my CD-Key. The game runs fine for a while until he gets kicked.

My lame brother has the same problem as you, but he is also having this problem in Delta Force 2 (yes he still plays it)
He has no problems joining servers, but when he start one, it takes between 5 minutes to 1 hour, but it kick all players.

Also, when he is using Direct Connect (P2P software, in case you didn´t know) he doesn´t get any searh results from the hubs, no matter what he tries. I tested having my firewall enabled while doing this, and I didn´t got any results either, I turned it off, and it worked. This lead me to think there was a firewall involved, however, my brother´s ISP doesn´t have any firewalls, they say.

He has just re-installed Windows (against my advice), we´ll see if that helps.

Hope this lead you in the right direction. I´ll be back

I can help you with this, Just go to the settings and make you you have put in your IP address.

If you dont know your IP address, just go Start, Run type in CMD press ok and then type in IPCONFIG that will bring up your IP address.

Hope this helps you
