Huh, now I'm getting the same "Failed to join game at [IP]" message on both PB18 and PB20. That's very strange... will inform Caledorn.
Caledorn and I have been doing some investigative work. Microsoft is the problem.
http://87.252.70.182:81 (Portal) and 87.252.70.182:2058 (Game) for now
I have created a secondary free host at caledorn.ddns.net which should start working within a few hours, but the DNS needs to propagate around the globe before it works. Edit: Even though I don't pay for a static IP at my ISP, I've had this same IP since I got everything sorted out after we moved last autumn, so it should be safe to use it in place of the DNS thing. But if you start using the IP instead of the DNS name, and you have connection issues in the future, then please check if the caledorn.ddns.net or caledorn.no-ip.org (both directs to the same IP, and my router handles updating the IP with no-ip.org whenever I should have an IP change at my ISP) works before complaining here. 
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"
