    Double check to make sure you haven't made the common mistakes (O instead of 0, l or 1 instead of I etc)

    Lexyus, maybe you could post on how you solved your problem. I had similar problems, and this is a fix that came from the site www.sega-europe.com/support :

    Actually the key is not checked when installing the game. Here is what you need to do.

    First, close Medieval 2. From the Windows desktop:

    - Click Start
    - Click Run
    - Type regedit and click Ok

    This will open the registry editor. In the left-hand pane you will see a list of folders.

    - Double-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    - Double-click SOFTWARE
    - Double-click SEGA
    - Double-click Medieval II Total War

    In the right-hand pane, you will see the game's registry entries.

    - Double-click CDKey

    You can now enter your CD Key in the Value Data field. Be sure to enter the CD Key exactly as it appears on the back of your Medieval 2 manual, including the hyphens (-). The CD Key must be entered all in upper-case (capital letters). All 0s are zeroes. The CD Key should take the format:

    12AB-34BC-56DE-78FG

    - Once you have entered the CD Key, click OK
    - Close the Registry Editor

    Now start Medieval 2 again and try to connect to multiplayer.
    One comment: my CD key is not in the format shown (12AB-34BC-56DE-78FG), but all else was correct and solved my problem.
