Well, I've tried 50 times in a row on several occasions and the one time the it actually showed a server list it would not let me log into Project 1999 because of an error.

I'm trying it under VirtualBox with Direct3D enabled. We'll see if this lets me play under Linux, because I'm tired of trying to code under Windows during downtime (which is considerable when solo'ing as my wife tends to play WoW/Landmark.)

EDIT: Well, Virtualbox was a waste of time. Nothing but a black screen, no matter what was tried. Not sure what else to do here... but it's not ISP or time of day related.

This is pretty old but might want to try VirtualBox again, it has 3D acceleration built into the Guest Additions now. Probably previously they weren't there yet, or weren't working.
