Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Every time I try to host a match via Traversal, I get the same timeout error message each time, and whenever I try to join a match it just freezes up for a few seconds and does nothing. I haven't had this issue before with the beta version but the tournament I'm playing in requires 5.0 stable. I've already tried DNS Flush and using a VPN and neither fixed it. I also verified there isn't any firewall settings preventing Dolphin from utilizing connections. Is there anything else I can try?

Just as a sanity check, what happens if you turn off Windows Firewall and run Dolphin as an administrator?
