Are you hooked to a router?

If so you'll need to make sure you have those ports open for broadcasting and connecting.

Well for War3 typically even if you don't have the port settings on open you can still connect to custom or arranged games. However if your settings aren't correct you can't host. CoD I'm not sure about since I don't play MP on it. But it sounds to me that you're timing out because it can't connect due to improper port forwarding on your router.
