Every time I try and log onto settlers rise of an empire online it hangs at login then states "COnnection Timeout - Problem with firewall or something or server side is having problems"
IS anyone else having this problem?

I just checked a few minutes ago, and the servers are running ok, so you may have a problem with your firewall/antivirus/router settings.

ok, well the thing is i have played a few games already and occasionally it works, i disabled my firewall to see if that affected anything and it still timed out so perhaps it is to do with the port access on my router but i should think not if i could play some games previously?
