Internet Up. Though, problem with TAO.

[devast8]

Alright. Here's the deal.

I cannot open pop- up windows, so therefore, my acess to playing TAO is restricted. And I do not like this at all!

Please, help me... I really want to play again.

what do u mean u cant open pop-ups? do u have a prog that blocks them? if so then it probably has an "off" button or better yet an exception list u could add TAO too, and if it isnt a program then what the frack is it? i've had that happen to me once before but a cookie clear and reboot fixed it, so without more details cant really help

I have a similar prob, and it's definitely not to do with a pop-up blocker or other such software. I don't use any.
TAO worked fine about two months.
Since the last server clean none of the computers (3 win98, 1 XP) on my network have been able to connect to the TAO server (when the pop-up window opens to give the login screen).
i.e. when I click "Play Tactics Arena Online" (link=http://www.tacticsarena.com/play/#), the new browser window opens, in which the Flash login should load and open. Instead, after a waiting period, i get a "Can't connect to server error", and the pop-up window header is "about:blank" (i.e. no content).

Using latest version of Flash player: 7,0,19,0
IE 6 SP1
Netscape 7.1
Mozilla 1.1
Same thing on all browsers and computers
Flushed caches,cookies, cleaned, dusted and polished->No joy

=>Not browser problem, looks like connection problem.
I use a dedicated Linux firewall, with port blocking. Only ports I want to use are enabled. Has TAO changed a connection port during the last upgrade? If so can the port number(s) be posted?
This would seem to be a valid reason for the probs, and might also explain devast8's problem.
Does anyone else have this prob? because it's seriously annoying. Having withdrawal symptoms, and i've gone back to playing Counterstrike again (bad boy, smack smack...)
