around 10:00 pm central time i tried to connect to the master server but i couldnt. Is it down or something? I'm using the beta, so i switched over to 2.7.1 but i couldn't connect with that either. Very frustrating, i dont have much time to play =\

maybe i'll be able to connect in the morning, i dont know.

Sorry, an automatic security update seemed to think it would be a good idea to overwrite the master server's ADSL password with an example file overnight. It took me a while to figure that out, because the error messages I got were timeouts...
Blame goes to me for choosing Gentoo and enabling using automatic security updates (which are beta).

I wondered what was wrong and started to think it may have been a dos attack

thanks z-man

I just tried to jump online myself, and nothing from the master.......which is really bad cause I just reinstalled everything and dont have an old list to browse!!!!

Tried to ping the master, but got a bunch of timeouts.
