you need to d/l the v1.1 patch for the version you have, US, or UK.....not sure about the rest of europe, but anywho that upgrade solves the time out error.
get the patch from this very site, cant remember the link but go to the main page.

I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin. But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
and when u get it u can forget about gamespy and use the ingame browser by loading up the game, goto muliplayer, join game, join internet game, then browse in game browser
