Whip, the only thing I can think of trying is for me too use Remote Assistance to just take a look at your computer. You could also try patching to the tester 1.06 patch and try to join one of us in a game. I'm suspecting that your computer is simply having a hard time processing the game, which isn't a problem in SP as that just means the turns are slower, but in MP each player on the peer to peer network has to respond to the other players in a limited amount of time or the game drops you. I assume that you have already set all your CIV graphics options to there minimum settings?
CS

As far as processing fast: I have 1G RAM, 2.6 Mhz Pentium4, 256K graphics card, and a rock solid cable connection. In C3C I host 8 with ease, never lag or drop, and when not the host I am second in the queue in the setup screen 90% of the time. Turns are lightning fast in SP. On a large map I can play into the Industrial Age with no slow down. I've not gone further than that due to boredom. Later in the Industrial Age I may get a message "waiting for other civilizations" for maybe 2 seconds on turns. As you can see in the second screenshot the game does initialize so I be surprised if graphics setting were a factor.
