At no point does the game ever start. The same happens with gamespy arcade and gamespy 3d

Q1: Is your PC behind a NAT router?
Q2: Do you have a firewall running on the PC?
If either of those is true, then they can prevent online games running until they have been specially configured for the game. Consult the game's documentation for details of open ports required.
As for the "LAN connection" thing, if that is a speed configuration for the game, then you need to turn the connection specification down to "dual-ISDN" level, otherwise you will be overloading your cable upstream limit. The correct setting for this depends on your cable modem tier of service, which you haven't told us yet.
