Well, then there would be others wouldn't there, althrough you could be right somehow.

Anyway, I just started DB on a litle older computer.

It gets some errors on startup.
Every minute you hear the harddisk making a sound like ,tic ,tic ,tic. Including the install.
The screen flikkers somewhat.

It starts up DB and IM just fine. First after starting nothing teleported in anyhow. If I create a sim and start it, I suddenly get 9 sims connected. It works on a old one why doesn't it work on the newer computer. I have put the computer off after, I don't trust the ticking.
So it isn't the server, neather the modem, probably something on windows. Lets search.

Numsgil:
Definately seems to be something on your computer if an older computer works.  I guess try reinstalling Darwinbots again?

Peter:
Another reinstall didn't fix it eather. Grumble, grumble.

Numsgil:
XP should have a "system restore point" you can use to roll back changes to windows from the last few months.  Try using it to roll back changes to a time when DB was working properly and see if it fixes it.  If so, it's probably a driver or settings thing.

EricL:
I thinking a local firewall, perhaps one installed with an anti-virus app - has the DB exe on a local blacklist...
