Multiplayer problem

Everytime i try to join a match in gamespy the game freezes.

There is a black screen with a grey bar on the lower corner of the screen. I can move my mouse coursor but i cannot exit to windows.

:
There isn't any problem when i host a game, but nobody appears. Even when there is people who has pressed the ready key in the launch menu. Any idea of whats going on? Any hints welcome. TIA.

System: Windows 98, 384 MB, Gforce2 Mx400, asus 750 mhz. Game version is 1.27

Thanks for the hint but when the "solution" requires the format of my HD :shock: and I dont think its going to work because i can play the game and host a game, but the problem is the conection with other computers. That post mention something about firewall and in fact i use adsl, which has problably a router. I can play many multiplayers games like Enemy Territory, AVP2 and UT2003 without any problem, even with punkbuster, but maybe FOT requires a special port or something like that.

Did you heard something about special requirements for multiplayer gaming? Anyway any hint will be welcome.
