My first thought would be to ask if you  have applied the 1.4 patch?
If not, I would try that first. Get it here.

Make sure to try the australian version if the us version does not 
appear to work and also note that there is now a 1.5 version of the 
patch. I would recommend 1.4 first.

The next point is that, sadly, this NG is dead. Most now use this forum:

Lastly, as a new player myself, I've been looking to recruit an online 
combatant with skills as limited as mine. It is very frustrating for me 
to play online against people that have been at this for years so...
DL Kali and reply to the NG if you want to battle.
