I just installed Worms and when I try to log onto the UK server for Wormnet, it tells me the server is down or something, and to try a different server. Are there different servers available? I seem to remember there was a long time ago, but I don't know. Thanks.

There's just one server now. First, it's good to make sure that you have the latest beta update installed. Wormnet is working at the moment, so if you can't get on, maybe you have a router or firewall that's blocking outgoing connections.

PS. Boom races rock! (I know your website :p)

Haha, thanks Bloopy. I haven't played Worms in ages, I was wondering if people these days even knew what boom races were. Oh yeah, i'll check the firewall, thanks.

Well, just updated it and disabled firewall, but still no go =( Any more ideas?

I made quite a lot of boom races... made sure everyone knew about them. :p

If it's not the firewall, it could still be a router or something, contact me on MSN or something if you like.

Hmm I've got a router problem that stops me from hosting but it doesn't stop me from joining WormNET (yes I do know how to fix this but I just couldn't be bothered). If you haven't already updated it to 3.6.26.5 then do so.

Why not use WormNAT?

CyberShdw's website has it, but I forget the web address.

Yes, FF 2.0 (non-rc or beta) adds the last slash too.

Ah because if you didn't have xp, you wouldn't be able to play with the latest version.

Huh?
The beta patches enable WinXP compatibility, but that doesn't mean they solely work with that OS.

Technically it's your web server that adds it, and then it redirects the browser. Web servers can pretty much do whatever they like depending on whether the URL ends in a / or not.
