You have a port issue, it may be closed by your router or firewall.

For more information visit : http://www.faforever.com/mediawiki/inde ... _solutions

You may want to also forward your router ports and for more info please see : http://portforward.com/english/applicat ... Commander/

something is blocking the ports or your routing is not correct. Please check that windows firewall/antivirus/any firewall is correctly configured. It may also have something to do with the type of network topography you are using. Subnets and more exotic network configurations are also difficult so forward and route.

If after you have checked your firewalls and anti virus, and its still not working, could you give us a little more information on your internet connection, including routers, modems......

when you reconnect (rejoin the game) does it resolve the issue? It's common to have to rejoin a lobby several times before all connections are made. Practically every game, multiple people cannot get connections on their first try, but eventually it works (if their networking is setup correctly). This leads me to suspect more than just connectivity is at play.
