If that doesn't work, click tools on your browser (or go into your control panel through the start menu) and pick Internet options. go to the security tab, and set it to low (mine is on medium) that might clear up problems with gettiing data packets.
If that doesn't work, close out programs in the lower right corner, where the clock is. Gamespy might screw it up, antivirus software might do it, etc. Anything that might block data is suspect.
