When i play a game called Age of Empires 2 he conquers expansion,  i play it online at zone.com.  When i get to the start u point when were just about to start a game.  (when everyone comes in and loads up)  i can't see where the players are well some players.  And this causes an error because it thinks my computer is having internet problems with that person.  Which i know it's not ive had this game forever and it's never done this.  SO if u have any idea's plz post them Thank you very much.

I found a help link about this and it says (The game launches but the zoner cannot see other players or players below them in the list) <problem       the solution is
are symptomatic of the game failing to establish the required direct connection between players and game host.


Can anyone help me with this.

My problem is The game launches but the zoner cannot see other players or players below them in the list.    And it says my solution is
 are symptomatic of the game failing to establish the required direct connection between players and game host.
