SemlerPDX =VG= LAN_WROTE ... Okay - I vacuumed and dusted my PC room so I could take off the covers and fire up my PC and try to join the server - I got the "Kevin" message, too!! Logged in to the remote and looked at the server, looks fine, in 3D pit, BUT - upon closer inspection, it doesn't respond to any keypresses, and it's CPU usage is flat 00. I've restarted the computer that runs the server, and I've restarted the BMS Campagin - let's try this again. BAM! !wiz I'm in the server as a client, no "Kevin Pending" message - so, the server had crashed in a way that it looked like it was running (I will be watching for this type of crash in my many daily health checks from now on). So, if you wanna fly, give it a try. We might have been chasing our tails for nothing here. Fun fun. ...and Merry Christmas! !cheers Wait so nothing was wrong with my connection?
