We've had a bunch of opinions on clock length but no consensus, so lets use the medium of Poll to find out what everyone really thinks, then do nothing about it. shhh

That was me again. Could be that I'm still not set up properly? Do I need to switch off firewall completely? I'm one of those unfortunate ones who has to switch it off for the list of civ to load, maybe these issues are related? What should I check apart from the hosts file?

Someone bounced off me (and I expect everyone will as I will be very surprised if the natneg-server works when I'm running it inside my LAN) - but I'm out now. smile
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. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"

If you previously needed to modify your firewall (when GameSpy was available) then most likely you would need to do the same thing now.

Firewall is running with the same settings as before. I switch it off only when I get to the civ choice screen, to make this period as brief as possible - this is what I've been doing always

Yes, Caledorn has a thunderstorm. You should check this thread whenever there appears to be an issue with the server.
