How do I fix this?
I am using the Steam version of TC:EW and use a router with a cable/Ethernet connection.

Any ports necessary to open or forward in order to play online?

yep..I'm having the exact same issue. I have tons of games I play online this is the only one I've ever had an issue with.

try to disable firewall

I have disabled my firewall, removed my router and I'm STILL having the exact same issue. I don't have any trouble hosting or playing any other online game at all. This is getting frustrating as the main reason I bought the game was to play the online mode. I even removed my internet connection and remade another one..still same thing. Anyone else having this problem? Looks like its just me and EmperorShang so far

I have the same problem. You are not alone don't worry. Many people around the internet have the same issue.

Anyone take think that the servers might not be online yet?

It happens on lan too so it's irrelevant to the status of the servers.

This error is occuring because we were stupid enough to Buy the game;-(
the pirated versions don't have this problem, because nobody with a pirated version plays on the internet....
