DPERR_TIMEOUT

[Grand_Armee]

I much prefer playing humans to playing AI's.  That's one of the reasons I bought Crown of Glory.  I live in Australia, and have so far played people in the US, Sweden, Venezuela, and Australia.  Before upgrading to ADSL, I had successfully played this game online with dialup.
 
Recently I tried playing a game of COG with an English fella.  At first, we couldn't even connect with each other...that is, get to the point where one of our computers, using a given IP number, could even find the other.
 
Then, I was directed by a friend to a program called Hamachi.  Basically Hamachi creates a secure LAN between two, or a group of players.
 
Using Hamachi, the English bloke and I could finally recognise the other's computer to hook up for a TCP/IP game.  Unfortunately whichever of us was trying to connect to the other guys computer would get an error message stating:  "DPERR_TIMEOUT".
 
Websurfing has led me to a few different places where such an error is mentioned.  But nothing I could understand to make a fix.
 
I suspect that because I have been able to play others, that the problem lays within either the ISP/connection the English guy is using, or something in his new computer.
 
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd be eternally grateful.
 
Thank you in Advance,

Grand: On our PC's this error was caused by Win Xp internal security, blocking the data transfer.

It happened a couple of times before we finally saw a XP security error message and it allowed us to stop the the security from "blocking:
