First off, hello and thanks to everybody who reads this one (:
As the Title says, I can't play online due to a problem with my timezonem apparently.. Well, I can get onto Wormnet2, I 've entered correct IP and everything. Even my super-on-computer-nerd friend helped me with this one. My problem, however, is that When I've loged in the following warning pops up: "Your machine clock or timezone seem to be incorrectly configured, you might experience some trouble playing online" WELL, I DO! I can join channels, other ppl see what I write and I see what they write, but I cannot join any games nor host. They simply won't appear in the list of games although I've refreshed several times over.. And yes, I have configured my timezone and PCclock CORRECTLY. I've searched everywhere but I think my problem seems to be somewhat unique. So maybe, and just maybe, somebody here could help me out with this one ? // Gratuful for answears, WWP loving Dandruff (:

Does this problem also occur with Worms Armageddon, or is it just WWP?

Check the time & date settings in your machine's BIOS and set them correctly there!
AFAIK, Windows reads the time from there.
(Seemed to help the guy in the first link.)

Probably not.
AFAIR, this problem has only occurred with WWP. I think I recall the cause being the encrypted connections.

Thanks a lot, that helped me figure the problem out! However I can't get it to work since "on a computer running Windows NT in the Finnish Time Zone, daylight-saving time changes are not applied at the correct time and date. The daylight-saving time settings for Finland do not match those for Greece and Turkey, with whom Finland shares the existing GFT standard time zone."
Now, I could make an own new timezone and completely remove Helsinki and all other cities, but I'm not sure if that would cause even more damage to my computer. Well, thanks to you (:
