I know that there\'s no influence whatsoever from winamp or messenger, but there\'s noting else I can think of...no other software installed, no hardware changes, no OS updates...heck NO UPDATES at ALL..since when it didnt work.

Now I managed to create a char and finally entered the game...(but only for 5 minutes cuz it crashed when I fell into sewers...bug??)
It works constantly for me now (char created, can select it from the char select screen...so no more connection problems...BUT HOW?)
I tried 5 times and it works....I have absolutely no idea what coul\'ve triggered the program to bypass that server loop...

Can anyone at least GUESS, so the others with the same problem can solve it??

ok, here we are:
Connection Type: Cable
Modem: WebSTAR
Router:dunno
Network Adapter: Surecom
Operating System: Windows XP SP1
ISP: RDS
Firewall: BitDefender 8 Professional
Anything else you can think of: no idea

I\'ll run the log later
