We try to give prompt response. Double check for typo errors on password and server address 2. Make sure you are pointing to the correct server address. Use IP number as a double check.
Check settings on the communication software.
The current version of Forum uses Microsoft's Distributed COM or DCOM communications protocols for communications between the Forum client and the Forum server. DCOM does have a few quirks as mentioned in the readme file. When the client connects to the server it negotiates a port to communicate on. Microsoft 95 and NT ship with dcomcnfg.exe, but 98 does not. You can get it from the Microsoft site or ask us and we will e-mail you a copy.
