atomic mitten,

like most of your other WOL problems, unfortunately it happens to every one

WOL is run based on half-baked and buggy coding. BNET, it ain't!

if you wanna play WOL games then you'll just have to get used to the many aggravating bugs and quirks that go along with WOL. happens to the best of us, all the time, even me.

Well I didn't know that so thanks for the input !

Bad input*

WOL is nothing more then a matchmoaking system, it makes a game on your request and the moment you press the play button you're OFF WOL, meaning: you are no longer connected to WOL, a handshake failure happenes when one of the players failed to connect.

I hope you won't fail connection next time we'll clash ;)

Re Ken's post.

I've been checking with other players on wol and everybody seems to be having problems connecting to each other ?

A friend of mine who I play quite often is also having problems when the screen, connecting comes up, his pc freezes up, as mine does.

This just seems a bit strange as I've played them many times without any problems.

There is either a problem with most of the servers on the net or something else causing the trouble ???

I think that I found out the ISP of the Blaster hacker ,Yesterday I used a trace scanner because someone kept scanning my ports whilst I was playing a game on wol.

IP was 217.xx.xx.xxx.

Apparently they caught the guy yesterday, who wrote the Blaster worm !Lives in the U.S.A.

I was being scanned though from Canada, so I was a bit puzzled ???

Could someone replace the IP above with 217.xx.xx.xxx?
