Ok Ok Ok....
After days without food, water, or bathing, we finally got connected and
could see the screen. Excitedly, we started running around and shooting
each other, when all of a sudden I was kicked out of the game. That's
happened about 10 times now - 5 seconds of playing time, followed by being
ousted, with the message:
W_GetNumForName: dStink not found
Translation? Anyone? I'm dyin' here...
Thanks,
