lord of the rings battle for middle earth 2 new problem

edited May 2007 in Gaming
I am trying to figure out why my buddy cannot connect to the online lord of the rings battle for middle earth 2 server. I am thinking it had to be something I did since it was working fine before i started messing with his computer. The problem was that his computer was lagging incredibly. I did the following

Ad aware se personal
spybot search and destroy
hijackthis (deleted everything lol)
run msconfig (turned off all startup items)
deleted all internet history/passwords/cookies/temporary internet files etc.
disk cleanup
defrag

he says the error that pops up is something along these lines:
"unable to connect to the battle for middle earth server. please check your internet connection."

He says his internet is working fine

He says he can log into the game and play skirmishes and other single player modes.

the only thing not working is online. The only thing i can think of that may have done it is hijackthis. I know this can have adverse affects if used improperly. i usually just delete everything and ive never had problems, but have heard of people encountering issues doing this. any suggestions? i did save a log file.

on the bright side, his computer is running 5X as fast as before lol. thanks in advance!!!
