everyone is getting it mate, you need to port forward your router to allow phoenix through the firewall.

see for details:

Hey Jack

Is your internet running off a router and wirelessly around your house? If so you may need to call your internet provider and ask them to forward the ports phoenix needs, or you can do it online i think. Have the same problem with online xbox connecting with and hearing some people..

yeah im running through a router.
Found it all on portfoward.com but cant find Phoenix on the programm list when i want to foward it :S

Jack, the ports required for Phoenix are 26500-26505 (UDP).

thats lost me :|

[Shay Kavanagh]

26500, 26501, 26502, 26503, 26504, 26505 all on the UDP setting.

Sorry Jack - If you've gained access to your router's port settings, those are the port numbers you need to open, regardless of the software they're for. Correct me if I'm wrong since I haven't checked instructions specifically, but you should be able to follow any program listed there but instead, input those port numbers above.

Let me know what router you are using and I'll have a look...

26500, 26501, 26502, 26503, 26504, 26505 all on the UDP setting.

Ok, so what do I have to do with that?

ps. have an orange livebox wireless router.

Could also be your wireshark sniffer playing up too?

When you are in your router firewall setting, you have to let through the ports 26500 - 26505 to allow them through the firewall. Enter them into the firewall settings (according to router setup) and it will ask for either TCP or UDP, select UDP for each.

Hope this Helps...
