Hi. I didn't want to bump any "obsolete" posts so I'm replying to this one. Me and a buddy had the same issue with "server failed to respond" msg. We both run entirely different systems. I'm using a Core2Quad with 6gigs ram, a 8800gts and win7 ulti 64bit and comodo fw. My buddy runs Core2Duo with WinXP Home sp2/3 32bit with 2gigs ram, a 8600gt and zonealarm fw. Our initial suspicion about the certificates was wrong. Although the Net7Launcher cert management appears to be broken (at least with win7 64bit) it had nothing to do with it. After hassleing for literally weeks we both fixed the issue by manually disabling ALL other connections but the one you have internet access with. Ideally that's your LAN or WLAN connection. If you have any other connection in your "Network Places" you need to disable them. Be it Hamachi or any other VPN connection. Any dial-up/cable/dsl broadband connection (perhaps even entirely delete the manual connection entry). Moving the according connections priority in the advanced settings DOES NOT fix the problem. There has to be one and only one connection! Instantly worked like a charm for both of us.

If you wait a few minutes the shell will also state "MVAS thread running" but nothing else will happen. A couple of friends an myself (all diff. OSs and firewalls etc.) having EXACTLY the same problem here for about 2 weeks, but there's nothing (to) (be)(ing) done about it. I am almost 100% sure it has either something to do with the certificates (installing it manually or via launcher in admin mode does NOTHING) or (which imho is more likely) a server-side problem with certain IP ranges. I am sure this thread will die like all the others about this very problem : /

I assumed it to be firewall issue as well, but this doesn't seem to be the case since I disabled and even uninstalled my fw temporarily for testing purposes. However, I figure it has something to do with the server certificates. When I use the launcher and "check certs" it will tell me that the certificate is not installed and whether I would like to have it installed. When I continue it will randomly either do obviously nothing or pop a warnig that it could not receive the certs from the server since it wasn't responding. A friend os mine has EXACTLY the same issues although he is using Windows XP Home 32bit and ZoneAlarm fw and I am using Win7 64bit and Comodo fw, so it can't neither be a UAC or fw problem afaik. I'd append an error log but strangely the launcher doesn't create one.
