OK ya all, just more on this for info
Those of us that use the Belkin Wireless IAD Routers, I've worked out that you need to do the following to your router:
1. Set the NAT up for port forwarding - use the drop down menu and AOE3 is listed within it. Add to the list and edit the range upto 2340 as suggested by ES_Lethe and Paragon
2. Set up DMZ for full access make sure us public IP is listed as number 1 with your internal IP of the machine. No one can see this IP.
3. Setup the special applications menu using trigger port 28800 with UDP and with public ports being 6667,2300-2400,47624,28800-29000 also using UDP. Make sure you enable it.
4. Finally make sure you have UPnP enabled
If you use Nortons - do as everyone else within the threads have suggested
Since this I've so far been able to access and play every game ive joined without any issues!!
