So I don't believe that a connection over port 1944 is actually being attempted. When we start PITF though, I get the message saying direct access didn't work, but I get *nothing* in the router log. So I am fairly sure that my firewall rule is correct (it's allowing access when enabled, and logging that access has taken place). When I disable the firewall exception, my program won't work.
When I run this, the router logs that the access has happened, and I see the connection coming in on my home PC. I wrote a test program which would try to talk to my home PC from my office at work, using port 1944. said "OK" when I ran PitF and Windows asked me if it was OK for the program to access the network set up my router to log whenever this happens fixed my router to allow incoming access to my PC for UDP and TCP on port 1944 I'd like to have some more info on exactly what I should do, in case I'm missing something. The message displayed when we start to play says that the host (me) has to open port 1944 on my firewall, but although I think I've done this, invariably when we play I get the same message again about not having been able to establish a direct connection. We both have v1.01, and I always host the game. So we thought that we'd try using the direct connection. Eventually, one or both of us gets "your opponent has disconnected". But the countdown clock has stopped, and you can't actually give commands to units.
When it freezes, the UI appears fairly responsive (so you don't actually realise straight away): you can scroll around and select units destroyed tanks carry on emitting smoke etc. Lagging we can cope with, freezing is more of a pain. Quite often during the game though, things lag a bit, and not infrequently (maybe one game in four) the whole thing "freezes". I'm playing a Panthers in the Fog with a friend, and using the lobby system to connect.
