I had the usual "Lost connection to server" when I try to play via the internet setup so I use Hamachi to play with my friends. I had the problem if I hosted or joined a game, I could play for less than 2 minutes then connection lost.

Today I try it again to see the EXACT message I received and I played without problem without hamachi! The only thing that changed between then and now is I installed hamachi and I set messenger to "Busy"... Now the messenger thing isn't a fix, but hamachi is heavy on installing network drivers... maybe something in hamachi setup fixed the problem!
