    I'm pretty sure it's the drivers on your computer or something else on your end.Update everything you can think of especially the network card and gfx card.Also It could very well be the router configuration or the setup of the game that's the culprit.

    Get into the online configuration of the router.Usually this can be accomplished by typing in the router address(192.168.1.1 in most cases but check your router manual)in your browser and pressing enter key.Make sure it's just the address NO http//: OR WWW or it won't work.

    The game may require port forwarding in the router etc.Read the AOE 2 manual for setup instructions.If you don't have the manuals you can download them free from the the site :)

    Here this is the only support doc I found :( and worst of all it's microsofts! but it may help a little.

    No go to the manufacturer of the network card(e.g netgear,linksys,dlink,etc)

    You have to put the IP number of your computer in the DMZ settings of the router.
