"Connection Failed After 4 Retries"

So I keep getting this "Connection Failed AFter 4 Retries" error when I try to join a game with my roommate. It only happens on certain servers, like the ATF server, and not others. I go to join the game, it gets locked up at the connecting to server screen and then gives me the error.

We are both on the same router so maybe it has something to do with that?

Does it Always happen? because you guys are on the same router, you have different internal IP's....but I don't remember if you don't have 2 different Internet IP's....

Can you connect if he gets off?

So far it seems to happen all the time only on certain servers. And it seems that I can connect when he's not in the server.

maybe they don't allow for duplicate IP's on those servers...I would check that out...

Thanks I'll investigate a little more.

i only get that when i try to join and stv and it's not up yet.

perhaps the server was down then? Sorry i can't help you naymore than that

Well, atf doesn't exactly have a well-oiled-machine.

So I went back to some of the servers that were giving me problems without my roommate, and I was able to get in. I guess it's some router issue. Oh well, w/e.
