Thank you for all the detail in your post.  It\'s a great post.

That said, I don\'t know how to help you.  The most likely answer is that the server was down, i.e. not running, when you tried to connect.  Your game will tell you the server dropped you whether it ever started or never got through at all--something I just corrected in the code the other day for the next release.

Next time you get this, try going to the fan channel on irc and asking if the server is up, then post here again if in fact it is up when you are having the problem, and we\'ll try to help you however we can.

Nice machine btw!

Thanks,
