Question age of empires problem

alright, this kid emailed me, and since i don't play games at all, let alone online, i had never heard of a problem like this, so i figured i would post it and see if anyone knew how to fix this

Quote:
The problem is when I go into a game I have to be the last one in or else it won’t work. Everyone below me I will see as 30 ping and the game wont start because of me.
That is what he emailed me. he running xp home on an older gateway with cable. sorry if this is not enough info but i have only seen his computer once and he doesn't know a whole lot, so emailing him for specs wasn't too profitable. thanks guys, much appreciated

What his he getting for a ping?

Is running the same version of the game as everybody else?

Is he hitting the equivalent to "start" after he connects to a game?
