the last one on there is from when i\'m trying to create my character, it\'s right at the point where i\'d upload it. the rest of the creation before is fine but just when i go to upload it gets that message, after i click \"ok\" the \"upload\" button does nadda!

Are you running a firewall? I have no idea about these errors but it seems that you can\'t reach the server. Perhaps when you tried this the server was down... check server availability at http://planeshift.fragnetics.com and try again when it says \'online\'.

If the server is up and you\'re still getting these errors, it\'s got to be a problem with your connection/somehow you can\'t reach it. If you have a firewall, disable it. I\'m afraid this is all I can offer. =/

Oh, well there is one more thing. I think there\'s some kind of fix for the \'linkdead\' problem specifically for Windows XP. Look around in this section of the forums for a thread about that.

i\'m running a Linksys router, but i got pissed at it last week with port forwarding and just set myself as the DMZ Host... so i shouldn\'t have problems with the UDP ports. anyways, trying the UDP ports thing now, as stated in the \"linkdead\" sticky post.

it mentions errors in the \"netman.dll\" ... :/



edit:
no luck, reinstalling game

Make a backup of the netman.dll in your PS folder. Then copy the netman.dll in your windows (maybe windows\\system32\\ not sure) to your PS folder, overewriting the backed-up PS netman.dll.
The game should now work.
