Wondering

[Biojjnoj]

This is regarding a post from a while ago in the Flame section about a person named Samsquanch having trouble connecting to a Seattle-based NFO server... when connecting, he would recieve the establising connection message and load bar, but it wouldn't progress from there. I ran a trace and was wondering, what this information meant.

He hasn't been able to connect to NFO for about 6 months...

It's hard to tell by looking at that trace, but I would guess that whoever is running it has some sort of firewall running that is blocking it.

(Samsquanch and I in same Counter-strike clan)

So he might be being blocked by our clan leader... ok... thank you I will post back if the problem resolves, or if it doesn't.
