We should bve all set with 2.14 and I at least am having np connecting, anyone else?

I can connect, but it takes three or four tries.

I found out what you meant by 3 or four tries... I need to start simulatenously 3-4 clients and the Last one connects... Kind of unpleasant but working.

Looks like several people are still having problems connecting since we are near the time limit for this turn and we still have 4 (I think) who haven't gone..

I am curious - is anyone having a more severe waiting to connect problem lately who HASN'T upgraded to Windows XP SP 2? That is causing quite the commotion with a lot of games and I know I started having more problems just about right after I upgraded...

I haven't upgraded to SP2 yet. 75 mb download is too big for dial-up. I occasionally have problems connecting to this game, but brute force (trying lots of times) seems to work.

I effectively staled on turn 36 when I accidentally hit "End Turn" when I intended to "Save and Quit". I then reconnected immediately and saw that it had hosted. So if anyone sent me any important Messages, I didn't see them. Please PM me if required.

I upgraded tp SP2, I had to reinstall most network drivers, and to update a lot of software too.

And I had my bunch of problems connecting for a while (begininning of week). Now it seems better.
