Issues with Multiplayer

[tsnouffer]

A friend and I were trying to play MP last night. We started on 1.17 beta and ran into an IP exception (posted below). We thought it was perhaps trouble with our chatting service, Skype, so we switched to others like iChat and Google+. No dice.

We then downgraded to 1.14 and still received the exception.

The exception would occur when one of us would select the firefight when trying to host. Both of us were experiencing this.

As a final straw, my friend switched over to a Windos box (we both were running via Parallels to this point) and still had the problem.

Is anyone getting on multiplayer with any version at this point?

Thanks for the report. The game uses a little on-line service to get your WAN IP address, and it seems that service is down. I'll have to find a work-around for this.
