Hi all
I am new to fumbbl and i cant get the ffb client working, i wonder if anyone can help. I have created a team and hit the play button (next too the team name) the client opens up and freezes for a while on the information and thank you screen.
If i click off the client it goes black and then after a while i will get the empty pitch and in the left hand side (chat box) i get the message
FantasyFootballClient Version 0.7.4
connecting to fumbbl.com/213.67.212.89:223
Retrying

Cannot Connect to the server
Anyone know what i can do, i am using windows 7 64 bit and the latest java 6 version, I have used opera and IE. If that helps
Cheers

Sounds like the server might be down? Are you on IRC? Someone can help you better there.
When you click the credits screen you should get a screen with the log in and a space to enter the game name. |

Right i tried to get on irc one program couldn't find the channel at all (but i'm probably doing something wrong as its all guess work at the moment) the one on opera can't connect, and the java applet can't connect either, does this sound like its my end as I'm in uni halls and I know they try to block alot of stuff. |

it does look like you're getting block if you can't connect anywhere... |

Do you have a firewall?
Also persist with IRC, it's far easier to get things sorted once you are on.
Ah sorry you said you were in uni halls, I missed that, yeah i think their firewall is blocking you. You could get in contact with their admin and ask them to allow you to connect to this server, say you are on a java programming course and you need to connect to learn... yadda yadda yadda. |

A mate tried that for something else and they said they wouldn't budge unless the head of department ( or someone like that) contacted them. I guess i'm stuffed. |
