I always get the error 'Network Connection Lost' or 'The Game has Closed Down' when really it hasn't.

So at the moment I have about 70 new maps of my PC at the moment, but I can only start games, not join them. Anyone know why this is?

PS: I have a 510k cable modem.

not really, but, ok, are the new maps in the right folder? Are u sure u have everything installed correctly, are u allergic to a computer?

yeah, New_Mombasa_Classic comes packaged as a .rar file, u need winrar to unzip it then able to be put into a .maps folder, u can download winrar from google, if u look close enough on the site however u can find a free winrar

Nah that isn't the reason. It's nothing to do with the maps.
I create games fine, but joining raises a problem. I think it might just be my PC...

Still I'm open for suggestions.
