Really?  hmm... I didn't have to update my config any.  Also, I don't think you can get a nat problem if you are playing over lan... methinks he's trying to host over the internet still.

I got an warning, that I'm behind a symmetric NAT router but there was also button for help, where you can read what you must do. Haven't tried it yet because the russian guys didn't know me and when one of them left, I left so they can play 2 v 2. But I guess it should work.

If I don't forward - NAT restriction

if I do forward - no problem

It isn't a "real" LAN. It is making a fake one and I would assume it therefore has to use an internet protocol. I am willing to concede this point if someone knows better but this is how I understand it until now.

The servers were getting moved late last week and some issues arose that can't be resolved until sometime after the weekend. CVP-based hosting will be available again once things are all back up and running in a few days.

I'm surprised no body is fired for this.  Definitely not a way to run a company.  And if you do have problems, you REVERT.  I guess we're no longer paying customers which means down servers are not a high priority.  But now I would have to think twice about purchasing another stardock online game.
