The game is temporarily located on port 2063 instead of 2057, just so Seven can play his turn. You can connect to the game at pitboss.watto.no:2063 if you want - but I'm going to move it back to 2057 as soon as he's played his turn. That port 2057 is suddenly blocked on his side seems highly strange on two computers, so I've asked him to take a look at his router config, as the router is the common denominator.
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.

The game is back on port 2057 now.

Okay, I am officially lost on Seven's issue.

He can connect to the other games, just not this one. He can connect to it if I fire up an old save on the old Pitboss host computer. I had him shut down his computer and modem (10+ seconds for the latter) before powering them up again. I rebooted the entire Pitboss host and reloaded all games. He has sacrificed at least three goats to the Pitboss Gods. Still, it doesn't work. And it's isolated to port 2057.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions, or do we have to move the game to port 2063 permanently?

I have no problems with changing ports if it's necessary.

Btw, do I need to replay?

No, I saved. But feel free to log in and check that things looks as they should smile

That's a really bizarre problem, and very difficult to troubleshoot. If he can connect to other ports, we know the host isn't being blocked. A specific port is typically either firewall or router. When he connected to the old Pitboss host computer, was that on port 2057, or a different port? Could he connect to port 2057 on that machine?

Yeah, I thought so too. He can connect to the old server via port 2057 yes. So it is a problem that only relates to the new game server.

Move the port, no need for anyone to pull out more of their hair.
