Try opening the game the normal way and choose the option to play a network game. It will ask you for the IP and rupes.dyndns.org can be typed in there and then it will ask for the port. If you can not connect this way, then there's a problem.

For the Parganaos map problem we could all use the map editor on the Parganos map to make #31 nostart if someone does get stuck there. Then we could upload Pretenders again and start playing.
