Blank server select screen

I had this two nights ago and sporadically last night. I had traced it to a comcast.com router that was packetlossy, so gave up for the night. Its fine again today

Okay this fixed it for me (Or I believe this is what fixed it)
I run off of Comcast
My Router is a Linksys.
I went into the router and selected "Port Forwarding" or whatever it is titled.
I put port 5998 as the start and end port allowed to bypass the router at any time.
It has worked wonderfully every since then.

So, check the router and check your firewalls.

most the time the router is 192.168.1.1 or 0.1
just type start / run/ ipconfig and see what the gateway is.
the once you log into the router you can port forward that port.

Thanks so much for the info going to pass this along to by brother and hopefully it gets him up and running also.
Thanks again for the update

...or it could just be an amazing coincidence.

If port forwarding works, then it's not the emulator, your ISP or your cable modem... but your Router that likely needs to be reset (which it does when you save config). Hmm. Keep us informed. Could be another good fix.
