Have you installed anything in the last few weeks, like XP Service Pack 2, Personal Firewall software, Virus blocking software etc ?

check to make sure your firewall settings have not changed. My Norton antivirus went nuts after they 'improved' the speed, shut every internet connection down for me.

If you have a firewall you may have to allow the .exe access to the internet.

i had the same problem with trying to get CS:CZ working last week.

supposedly mcafee knew that cz had full interent access but it still failed to connect.

tried this and that - in the end got fed up and just uninstalled mcafee.

cz now works fine !

gonna have to play with mcafee and find out the problems when i have an hour or 2!
