Connection Information blank/not connecting

Game was working ok but the last time I played was immidiately after the restart. I switched router configs since then, still have the same ports being forwarded, but now the Connection Information pane stays blank for the better part of forever, and when it finally does update with players, nobody seems to connect to anybody. This is across skirmish, pantheon and custom games.

Be patient.  Can't believe I'm saying this considering some of the things I've posted recently!  But it is true.  Sometimes you may have to wait several minutes or more (5 - 6 is not impossible) for a multiplayer match to happen.

Stardock is working on this, so I believe, so it should improve soon.  I hope!  :)

Oh no, I know it takes a while, but prior to my config change, it was connecting fine, though slightly slowly. Now, it simply doesn't do anything at all. I might get the other players to show up in an attempted match, but nobody connects to anybody and it stays like that for a solid 10minutes at least (longest I let it sit for). Only thing I can figure is that even with the ports being forwarded the setup I have does not like making the direct connections. I've pretty much given up on playing until the proxy servers go in.
