Playchess down for slow modem connections?

[Rolf]

Could someone please take a look into playchess.com? Actually I'm on vacations and use a slow modem connection. Get time-out messages from server. Thanks in advance.

Shit, was all my own fault. Two days of the championships lost! I hate all this technical shit: here the fault was that I had Norton Firewall on AUTOMATIC, after I changed to manually the prog asked me if I would allow this or that, I said yes, and I was connected. Just for the record: computer tech fraks are nuts because they forget the users, they are like engineers who say ok it runs and that's important, but they dont reflect what happens if this is chosen what happens then etc. Forget it.

Big thanks to you Swami. Your info explained to me that I could be the cause of the problem...
