the dsl supplied firewall should only be causing you problems if you're
trying to host. can you get in the game yet? if so, go to "connect" button
on left of screen, and then settings. setup a racecast account by email
addy and password. register account. exit game and restart. stay in
windowed mode looking for any pop up screens.

see if that works.
