I recently built a completely new PC because my old one gave up on me. Since getting this new setup, I'm having issues joining or hosting online game lobbies with my friends. My Internet Service Provider hasn't changed, so I'm puzzled about what's causing the problem. I'm running Windows 11 right now. Are there any specific settings I should check to resolve this issue, or is there other information I could provide that would help?

Sounds like a weird issue! Have you checked your firewall settings? Sometimes, Windows Defender can block certain connections, especially if your games are trying to access the internet for the first time. Also, double-check your network settings to make sure everything's configured properly. If you have any particular game in mind, I might be able to help troubleshoot further on that specific issue!
It might help to know what error messages you're getting when you try to join lobbies. Is it a general "unable to join lobby" error? If that’s the case, there’s a chance the game isn’t properly configured to use your new network settings. Also, try checking if the game requires any specific ports to be open on your router.
