hi,

today I had a problem that sounds like the one Chamaco described in topic "Can't login in BBO" (http://forums.bridge...?showtopic=2127).

It occurred after I had installed version 3.6.7 the normal way on a windows XP machine owned by a member of my local f2f club. It had not been installed there before. After klicking on Login, immediately the message that netbridgevu could not connect to the internet was displayed. However, there was an internet connection and I was able to successfully access http://bbo.bridgebase.com:81/ with the internet explorer.

I tried 3 different ISPs with XP firewall switched off, but it did not help. I did not find any other firewall installed.

There was the antivir program and a dialer detector. I stopped both and tried again, but no success.

I tried to find any XP settings related to the problem - nothing. Finally, after 3 hours, I gave up.

I am sure that this is not a problem of the BBO server. But I have no further idea what to try on that computer. Can anybody provide me with some ideas please? Thanks a lot.
