Stuck on "connecting" screen with "abort connect" button

[kandaker]

I can log into the FAF client and join a custom game. The FAF game is launched, but I never get to the lobby. I end up on with the "connecting" dialog and the "abort connect" button forever (until I give up). Two friends (one of whom set up the game), don't have this problem.
I've tried 5-6 times, including rebooting my machine in-between, and restarting the FAF client several times. The same outcome keeps repeating.

Known issue? Something I can do to fix it?
