Okay, last night I played WA for the first time in a long long time (too long).

I had some difficulty getting into the Gamespy lobby, and when I did I was dropped from the network on four occasions. I also noted that nearly 50% of the games set in the lobby had no ping - just "-----".

I went into my router, and set my main PC in the DMZ, but am reluctant to leave it that way.

Before I start digging in my router and trying to ensure my ports are forwarded properly, I want to check to see if there have been any problems w/ Gamespy as of late that would be similar to these problems?

If it appears to be my problem, I'll start working to fix it.

Thanks.

I've noticed the above also....no ping listed on some games, and on those same games you can't join. My guess would be routers on both ends, but that is all it is....a guess.

Any insights from the hard-core geeks out there? :)
