I\'ve been trying to connect to the game. Initially when I tried to create the character it said about being disconnected from the server. I saw the FAQ (#2) about the firewall problem. I am wondering if there is a workaround.

That only happened the first time I tried running it. Now when I try to connect to the game it just hangs and sometimes it crashes.

I am also running XP, so I tried the changing to WIndows 98 (it didn\'t give me a 98/me option) and also tried changing the config to be 32 bit deep window as was mentioned in another post. Neither of these changes has worked.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Cicada
