Col6y

BYOND Build Number: 475.1080 (Downloaded it last night)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP 5.1 SP 3
Video/Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS, Integrated RamDAC, 512 MB Memory, 1280x1024 Display, Default Monitor
Game Hub/Link: Space Station 13 (http://www.byond.com/games/Exadv1/SpaceStation13)
Internet Connection Type: DSL
Firewalls/Routers: I checked my firewall, it's not blocking any Byond communications.

Problem Description:
I downloaded Byond last night to try SS-13, and every Server won't let me connect.
Some servers say "Connection Failed."
Some servers start connecting, then say "Failed."
The rest just say "Connecting to Byond..." and never change
I got it to download one time, but then it stopped doing anything and didn't display a status message.
I've already tried "ipconfig /flushdns" and everything at http://www.byond.com/members/ BYONDHelp?command=view_post&post=29746
I also flushed and re-started all of our network blockers (e.g. Firewall, Proxy Server, Website Blocker, etc.)
Steps to Reproduce Problem:
I just try to connect to any SS-13 game.

Schnitzelnagler	Is this a new issue and you could connect to the game before on a different version, or are you trying BYOND the first time on this computer/network? Can you connect to other games? Are you properly logged in on the pager (does it say 'Logged in as Col6y [Public]' in the status line)?

Col6y	This is the first time I've tried BYOND. I know that I can play the Tetris game on BYOND, but that might not count. I'm logged into the pager properly. EDIT: I just rebooted for a seventh time, and it works now! I bet the problem was just temporary.
