Why won't my game retrieve the server list

[world idiot]

i have the game of defcon legally, just so u know, paid the full tenner and all

however, today i can't retrieve the server list, i have forwarded port 5010 to my local ip and am behind a Netgear Wgr614v6 router

The Metaserver might be down, it happens from time to time. Or, your Internet Company might be having problems on their end.

I wouldn't worry unless it continues for several hours.

Im having the same problem, I bought Defcon 2 days ago, and when i entered my authentication code, it says authentication: unknown. I know this means the game cant connect to the metaserver, but its said this since 2 days ago, and when i try to join a game, it says, retrieving server list forever and never produces any results. I thought the metaserver might just be down, but i went to my local gaming centre today, played defcon online, came home 5 minutes later, and my home game still wont connect. This even happens if i turn off windows firewall, please help! i love this game!
