I cant connect either. The server I connect to is definitly up and running and i have the right information for sure. I get this message when I try to connect to the server:

" Unable to connect to the specified server. Conntact the server admin and verify that the server is online. You should also verify the hostname and port number with the server admin to assure that you are trying to connect to the correct server."

I finally managed to get onto my own server by changing the hostname from my LAN IP to my WAN IP (which unfortunately changes frequently). Weird.

Yup, same problem here. I have both 3.0.0 server & client for windows. To test, I installed both the client and the server on the SAME machine, and tried to connect to the server using 127.0.0.1. No luck. It just says "MSG: Contacting server". However, when I try to connect to it using 2.3 client, I get a message saying that the server is version 3.0.0, so the proper ports are in fact open.

Both client & server 2.3 work perfectly with eachother on this very same machine.

EDIT: One thing I noticed, is in the DOS window for server 2.3, after "READY:" it said something about "listening on the following interfaces" and it doesn't say that anymore.. It just ends with "READY:". I don't know if this has to do with this problem.

I can connect to my server using my LAN IP but the WAN IP my friends use no longer works for 3.0 but worked fine with 2.3
