o2's thomson router and online gaming

[TigerUK]

I'm trying to use the said router to connect to age of empires 3 multipayer, and it's next to impossible to connect to games, i've set up port forwarding, and disabled windows firwall and still i have no luck connecting.

Is this a known issue with thomson routers, or is it doesn to the ISP itself? [o2].

Pulling may hair out, I haven't played online games in ages, bought this game again becasue I used to play it 2 years before, and I'm still having a lot of difficulty with it.

i suppose thats what happens when a game maker offers free online multiplayer mode, and because after a certain point game sales dies, there's no budget to keep the online play going.

Quite annoying actually, maybe some third party group will take over and introdude a paid server for $3 a month or something, that can handle this
