Trace route fails...

i have push sft-F8 for connecting and the only return is "Thread Slot 0".

I am not able to connect to a particular server.
LOTA StormCup.
I have tried to follow people in, I have tried to join from lfs.world, i have tried to type it in manually. i get a timed out every time.
I get a 76-86 ping on other LOTA servers..
I have re-installed the game, bypassed my router, checked my host file, rubbed the top of my head!
Nothing changes.
I should note that I can not see the server in the "Search for Host" ingame. there is no filter on, that server is just invisible to me...
The server admins cant figure it out, there is no ban list.
This is a strange problem... ANy ideas? anyone?

I am really excited about this.

I do not like the knock out, but it looks like thats the way its going to go.

I know that running a league is a pain in the arse, but I think you are on to something here. With a little more organization you would have most of the bugs worked out.
My one comment, and like I said I know this is tough especially when you have admin issues...Would be that it seemed like there had been no "dry rehersal", and you got suprised by some things that shouldnt have.
Good job overall, you have my continued support if you continue.

Here it is.
