hi,
if u have win7 and cant login (connection failed)
i have a simple solution, it worked for me and 2 other guys,
just create a win xp auth server via vmware:
install VMWare Workstation
setup a new VM with Bridged Network
install Windows XP on the VM
disable the Windows Firewall (services.msc)
copy the bot folder to your VM desktop
configurate your VM IP adress to 193.192.58.73 - subnet mask 255.255.255.0
run the testserver.exe
configurate your HOST System IP Adress to any IP in the VM subnetmask, for example: 193.192.58.72
now test to ping your auth server with your win7 Host System (cmd -> ping 193.192.58.73) if u get a ping all is fine...
now start your hellbuddy (totalcommander.exe) and login..
if u logged in, just change your network settings to DHCP and have fun to bot Wink
