A while ago I noticed I could connect to server but got no feedback, e.g. couldn't see anyone [including me] in rooms, even though the server status showed them to be busy. My opponents could see me in there. Quite clearly the server couldn't 'upload' to me. Other connections are fine. A few plyers on the VASL forum had the same problem.
After several tests I now realise this is because the ISP blocks all connection to P2P sites at peak times. The VASSAL server comes back when P"P software is unblocked. More and more ISP's are blocking this traffic at peak times. So more and more players will be kept out of VASSAL in the evenings. Is VASSAL server seen as P2P by the ISP's? Can this be altered? cheers David
