    Check your router logs to see if its blocking anything. I found the same would happen with CS S and it was becuase the crappy O2 router would think I was having a UDP attack and block the ports.

    What router are you running? Any firewall running (on machine or router)?

    3 other people online on the same router, while you're trying to play games can't help though, can it?

    Any consoles on too.. or iPods etc?
