Master List Not Showing All Servers

Firstly, I assure you that I have "Show Empty" and "Show Full" turned ON.  When I hit the "Get New List" button, I am not getting a full list of the servers.  There is no consistency in this, though.  Some times I will get Almost all of the servers, sometimes I will get about half, and sometimes I will only get about a third.  I am using Volt's HUD, and I am running Windows XP.  I have tried a fresh install, but it is still doing the same thing.

This leads me to believe that it could be a fire wall or a certain port that I do not have open correctly causing the problem.  If anyone has had this problem, or knows how to fix it, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have not run into this problem until recently, and I have not made any changed to ports or added firewalls, so it really has me baffled.

I get the same thing while bittorrent is running. Make sure noone is downloading on your home network.

that was simply due to the lag. are you on wifi ?

No, it's just me.  It's Cable.

I used to almost never get a master server list.  When I got a new router the problem went away.

Longer, maybe a month and a half.
