Whenever I attept to connect to ANY game (locked and incompatible are already filtered out and Viruscan/Wall are deactivated/allow all), I receive the "operation is taking longer than requested" message. It never loads the server, and when I cancel it, it states that my connection was timed out, or that my account name/password weren't valid, even though I never had an opportunity to create an account within the specific server in question! What am I doing wrong? Does the global server even function?
