Ok, Only asking because this happened to me in the past until I bought a 
decent router.  Are you using a router, and does it have loop back 
capability?  I was using a Belkin router, and without loop back my 
friend could log in, but like you waited forever for region handshake.  
Then I bought a new D-Link Gamer Lounge with Turbo Boost.  If you get 
that router, be sure to turn off that feature.  I am sharing my net with 
my wife.  The router gets confused as to who is on playing a game and 
looses track of who should be getting the best bandwidth and messes 
things up.  But off and everything work beautifully.
