Need HELP. joining games

[django]

Hi, my friend bought aoe3 some days ago and he uses the internet of the university. He cant join into 99% into the games ( funny thing is, he can always join my games), but ppl can join into his games easily. How is this even possible ? Any suggestions ?

Probably not a lot he can do if he's on university internet. Maybe using a VPN into his parent (or a friends)'s home network would work?

Gonna move this to tech support.

Does this mean a VPN worked for you?
My friend actually has the same problem and I would be interested in a solution.

BTW, quicksearch seems to also work fine for him, just not joining rooms.
