Sorry, I missed the question, when I was responding to others earlier.

The best way to tell if you are connected to the server is to tap on deathmatch from the title screen, then tap on network multi-snailer, then start, then done, and done again; Then, if you have your PC nearby (or even another PPC with internet access) go to

If your PPC/PC is connected, you will see your name and the level you are waiting to play on under the Snails Internet Gaming Statistics.

Such as here:

If your name and level is not displayed here, then that means that you are not connected to the server (possibly due to a firewall or something else blocking the gateway). If nothing is being diaplayed here, then that means that no one is connected to the main Snails server.

However, if you have another person in your local network, or connected via Wifi/BT AdHoc, you can simply tap on the search button suring the 'Select a Game you would like to join' This will display any users in the area that areconnected and have already started a game (and are waiting for another to connect). If you see another player in this window, then all you have to do is tap on the game you would like to join and then tap on the Connect button.

Hmmm.. I don't know :/

I've had a problem even connecting my own since I got a PPC 2k3 device. Are you connecting over activesync, or directly to the computer/network? Try both, and see what happens.

Also, you may want to try the PC version, and see if that will connect as well.

(to minimize the PC version while waiting to connect press the 'Windows Key'+'M' at the same time)

I'll ask Peter about this as soon as I can.

Did anyone every come up with an answer for this one?

I have Snails 1.9 on WM 2003 (not SE). The device is a Toshiba e750. I have a Linksys wireless router. I've tried to connect to the server on the wireless network and on an ActiveSync pass-through. Both methods allow me to surf with PEI but neither seems to connect to the Snails internet server (at least I've never seen my name on snailsgame.com as waiting for a connection).

I have a firewall but I turned it off and it still didn't work. Could one of my wireless settings like WEP be keeping me from connecting? I wouldn't think so since PEI and Messenger are working fine.

Thanks,
Greg
