Hi everyone Please could someone help? Had a problem for a while now and have had a few problems finding out whats causing it.

Problem is I join game through hyperlobby no problem then after a minute or two sometimes a few seconds, I get a 'disconection from local host, reason timed out' message? did all the usual things port forwarding, DMZ, switched of firewall etc, even changed routers, but still the problem persist,I have one pc on my network so no problem sharing, also wirless is switched off. while i am playing online everything is fine and the play is smooth, so this problem is really bugging me!

Any input from network Guru's much appriciated Thankyou?

Does this happen on all servers or just some? What operating system do you have?

Hi thank you, its happening on all servers, and I'm running Windows Xp

An update, I did a traceroute myself but found no obvious problems, the software said I have a quick connection no nodes were showing problems on the read out. When I connect with hyperlobby, the game I usually connect with, has only a 15m/s response time, so no problem with pinging there either! Any ideas?

Hmm, what version of the game do you have and what patches have you applied in what order? I hate to ask but, any mods installed?

Hi, no mods, its Il2 1946 patched straight to 4.08.
