When I attempt to connect to play through the Internet, I get a pause, followed by a "please wait" message for about 2 minutes.  I am then returned to the main menu with no error message.  I am connected through broadband at my school's network, and other games work wonderfully through the internet.  Anyone else having a similar problem or know what I should do to connect?  Its interesting it allows me to create a user but doesnt allow me to see the online servers. 

 

Thanks...

same exact problem, i've also tried several different user names, all the same result. maybe its the school, but i even tried a port that i know is open and it still does it. well maybe someone can help us.

Got a solution--at least for LAN play.  Go to Hamachi.cc and download their software that creates a local area network below the school's network.  Have your friends connect to it and you should see each other in the lobby.  Hamachi's a sweet little gadget...

 

I'd love to see internet working for us but at least we can play some multiplayer...

does this serve the same function as the lan option in multiplayer, becuase i can access that, its just the internet play that takes me back to the main menu. thanks for the info
