Hello, perhaps many of you have seen this message when attempting to connect to someone other's game in GameSpy.
This happens when some firewall at the host side blocks incoming packets. For example, if you are using ZoneAlarm or some other personal firewall you can't efficiantly host games at all. I.e. you can - but when someone tries to join your game will have that message as result.
To make it working, you need to instruct your firewall to accept TCP and UDP traffic for KoH game ports as described here.

You have to enable all incoming and outgoing traffic for the ports and then you will be able to host games.
