Yeah, as you've discovered, you'll have network problems with GameSpy.

The easiest way to play Age of Empires online is to use a different service, GameRanger.

GameRanger is a multiplayer online gaming service supporting over 500 games that lets you play online without the hassles of network connection problems.
