Fight Server Trouble Shooting [Firewalls and the ports we use]
If you can't ever connect to a fight or the match server and be matched with someone.... chances are there is a firewall blocking you from doing so.
The way we connect out should work for 99% of people unless something is specifically blocking a port.
Most routers will use NAT to allow the client to punch out to a server without interfering. It's firewalls that become the issue.
I will update this list to include all servers / ports we use as we grow. Each time we add another fight server for performance reasons another IP will be added to this list.
Configuring your firewall / router to allow these connections out might help you.
184.173.124.132 TCP port 9000-9100 [Fight Server]
184.173.208.18 TCP port 9000-9100 [Fight Server]
184.173.208.19 TCP port 9000-9100 [Fight Server]
184.173.208.20 TCP port 9000-9100 [Fight Server]

Here are some really common places you can't play because they block ports:
At work! Not a small business but like a govt. agency or perhaps a large insurance company
On campus! Blame the file-sharers.
I have reason to believe Hughsenet Satellite connections are also a problem.
