The Open Cave

When I try to log on to the ALCUGS server this evening, I get the message "Kicked off server". If I try again, it just hangs. I tried pinging the server with no response. Maybe I'll just wait and try again tomorrow.

I think I solved my own problem. I updated my Zonealarm firewall yesterday and the new version is still "learning" my internet habits. Apparently it displayed a dialogue box wanting to know if it was OK to access this website. Since the dialogue box was hidden by the full-screen game display, I didn't see it and it timed out, blocking access. This morning, I discovered several points during the login process where zonealarm wanted to confirm access permissions. I answered yes to all and told zonealarm to remember those settings.

All is well now except for glitches in the game.
