Having the same problem, read through countless threads to try and fix the problem, and nothing. Tried multiple re-installs, firewall off, changed permissions, tried didn't locations, and still the same. Even turned off firewall completely for 10 seconds while logging in, nothing works. This is so frustrating.
The software recommended on this site, Duxa's one step installer, set off anti-virus, which said it had a virus, and immediately deleted it. Installed as Administrator, patched, logged in etc. Still the same thing. Not sure what else to do. Please help, a suggestion. I've downloaded and reapplied the patch numerous times so that doesn't work. I've also taken out the needed files. This issue has come up alot in the past, and the fix is different for others, and sometimes the same thing. I'm an old player from 1999-2001, and would love to play this game again.
