Okay, I’ve got the server showing up on the website. Could someone please check that they can actually get a server response and get the lobby and game to show up? That’s something I can’t test from the same computer or inside my local network.

The server is showing up under public servers, but the connection is timing out when trying to connect.

Also, I can’t ping the server (you might have ICMP disabled so this might be meaningless).

The Straight Dope Message Board is showing up on public servers, but it is not loading when I select it.

Okay, it obviously doesn’t want to work in WINE. I’ll try a full-blown VM. If that doesn’t work, I’ll see if I can get Boot Camp to start working again.

Well, I don’t think I’ll get it to work tonight. Boot Camp just crapped out again. Would someone like to take over hosting duties for a week or two until I get the new parts in? I’ll send the file and walk you through it.

Pretty much, but you’ll have to get there early to re-register.

You’ll have to create a new account, as the backup server I’m hosting doesn’t come with your original account information - same username is fine (although if you’re security conscious, a different password is a good idea - who knows if we can trust this fubbleskag character).
