Can't get past UDP handshake 1

[snaad]

Mostly when i start up altitude everything goes well: it checks connection, logs automattically in etc.

But sometimes everything goes well untill UDP Handshake1. It just stays loading there, even if i let load it for 10 minutes. And then i cant mostly play about an hour. Its sometimes verry irritating.

I have a good internetconnection and can still get online via firefox. But altitude wont work.

Can you help me

P.S. sorry for some errors in typing, i'm not english so i cant type it well.

PPS I use Mac OSX 10.5.7, processor is 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

I also get this issue Snaad, but mines due to a programme I run called 'Little Snitch’
I just disable it before running Altitude

You may need to edit your router or firewall.

Read http://altitudegame.com/firewall?ip=unknown&os=mac for more info.

i dont have any other programs running, and dont have firwall turned on.

Almost everyone has a router -- your computer connects to it to access your internet connection. Have you tried enabling port forwarding and forwarding UDP port 27272 to your machine?

http://portforward.com has some instructions for setting up port forwarding on a variety of router models.

I'm on a corporate network and can't change the port forwarding rules. Is there another way I can fix this other than tunneling? Why does altitude need udp anyway?

[lamster]

Almost all data (server list, friend system, game traffic) is sent over UDP. Corporate firewalls can be problematic.

normally you wouldn't even reach Handshake 1 if your firewall/router is the problem would you lamster?
I was under the impression you would have problems when it auto-updates in that case...
