These are times pinging from Alabama.

I was able to get your program working, but then got an endless supply of "Mike says tab to chat" in the chat window. I'll try again.

Upon retrying, I was able to get back in, say "Hello," and see your "Welcome Back" but then I got an endless series of "Kanati says you can't beach the sub" messages, so I Escaped out again.

This was all with Zone Alarm at normal, "Medium," program control and answering "Yes" twice (access/server) when starting up 3dradexe.exe to allow it net access.

worked fine for me. :)

Zone Alarm settings unchanged - it worked better this time. I was able to get back in (as "See forum!" :) ) and we were able to chat for a bit. I could walk and then chat, and everything seemed to be working, but then I could no longer chat or move. I tried Esc followed by "N" to cancel, and that would sort of put me back in the game. The chat window updated with my "n" from answering No, but I couldn't type anything else or move. I then tried running 3dradexe.exe again, but it crashed and wouldn't start.

Upon going back in, it worked OK. All three of us talked (as you both know, since you were both there <g>). When Mike logged out, I got a system beep and a pop-up system window that the host was bye-bye then back to desktop.

Anyways, glad to help, Mike. Good luck with this - if I'm around and free when you're testing again, I'll pop in.
