Ok, I have this error too... I have a n good computer (2Ghz P4, Geforce 4 ti 4600, 512 mb ram, WinXP Home and so on) so I don\'t think this is the problem. But I have a firewall, but it\'s configured corectly...
Anyway, I start creating a character, an enkidukai, with custom configuring, and when I\'ve typed in name and password and press upload it shows the loading screen briefly adn gives the error message he stated before... I have tried using compatibility mode for Win98 and using the numeric ip adress too...
I have absolutly no idea what\'s going on here....
