"You were disconnected", a very persistent error

[Jopi]

Every time I connect to a channel in Valkyrienet, I get this error. It connects to the server, but when I try to choose a channel to join it loads for some time, but then displays the message. I don't have a firewall or a router. Vnet server is europa.valkyrienet.com. My internet connection is cable. Any clues?

Let's move this to the MP forum and see if the experts there can help.

hrmm.

An idea that might do the trick. Supposing you have XP installed you need to disable the inbuilt firewall.

Otherwise it might be your ISP that block the relevant ports.

I have Win98SE. If my ISP blocks the ports, is there anything I can do?
