Today, when I went to use WormNet for the first time in about a month, I got this error. (Wormnet was working fine a month ago, and nothing's changed on my system since)

I did a Google search and found this article (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=39017).

That's for WWP, and states that the problem was solved in WA with an upgrade.

I use 3.6.28.0 because I run Vista and 3.6.29.0 doesn't let me minimise (different story altogether).
But to check if the problem could be solved by an upgrade, I upgraded to 3.6.29.0 and tried again - no luck.

I then tried the WWP fix, but in the file mentioned there was no ISP link, but a direct link (ie nothing to fix).

I have now downgraded back to 3.6.28.0 and am hoping for a fix. I tried closing all other internet apps, and even explorer.exe - nothing's working.

Anyone else have this problem today/lately?

Yes, me. Installed today on my new Windows 7 machine and I can't connect through W:A or any type of Snooper (tried ProSnooper2, Web Snooper, Wheat Snooper). Here are my error messages:

W:A - Fatal error during gameserver connection, disconnecting
ProSnooper2 - Error contacting server. This server or your network is down.
Web Snooper - Connecting to wormnet1.team17.com... Connection lost (Socket error: Read error) - reconnecting...

Try it now, there was a power outage yesterday that caused the servers to fail.
