All I can say is hamachi is a great alternative. Sure, the free version can only allow 16 people, but if everyone has hamachi, you can instantly create 50 free networks, ensuring that you can always play with any combination of players. Just make a new network and pm the password to everyone that wanted to play or put it out on the forums. The game performance seems better, as well.
