239.255.255.250 looks like an internet address, but isn't. It's the
address used on uPnP (universal Plug 'n' Play) network packets. Your
firewall may be set to pass any LAN addresses (mine was), but isn't
recognizing this one. You need to set up a seperate rule for passing
it.
Before passing that address (which can be blocked at your router), I
could only get DVA to work on certain computers. On others, it would
hang (usually on the splash screen). If DVA did start, it would take a
long time to find the Replays, and be slow in a lot of other places.
Strangely, it would work once but never again until an OS reinstall.
The server (the part that shows up to the Replays) never worked.
There's another (unexplained) thing. When you stop DVA, it tries to
connect to 224.0.0.2 However, blocking this doesn't seem to be causing
any trouble.
