> > when trying to sign in to xwis, my game stops at the joining lobby screen. through the test option in the tool itself, i sign in with no problem with multiple nicks. also, the ip addy is correct in the hosts file. this just started a day ago without any knowing action on my part. meaning no downloads of any kind. this error occurs within TS and RA2. any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the most frustrating problem i have had with a westwood game. 3 reinstalls haven't helped. this includes deleting all mentions of westwood, TS, RA2, yuris, and WOL out of the registry. it may be dramatic, but please help.

> Nick?

The nicks I use are grabtommy and avulva for my old serial. then axycatch for my new serial.
