Server is unreachable? - Unable to connect

Ask the ITBYC panel

Harold,

Tony Moore gave me your name and said you may know the answer to my problem.

When I try to play a virtual gave via the internet, it says, "unable to connect: server is unreachable (maybe a proxy problem)"

I have left the configuration settings as default, I have a cable internet connection, and have downloaded the v1.4 patch.

Let me know if you can help, I'd love to join the online races.

Tks

You most certainly will have some kind of router/firewall running

In addition to the complexities of the innards of PCs (which I don't understand), sometimes simple things can cause errors.

For example, make sure you have registered your name & password with the vsk2 server, and that your name has no illegal characters in it, such as a space.

Good luck, Sandy :beer:
