This could be caused by a number of things such as you have old version of urlmon.dll or it's not registered or you've uninstalled IE, etc.   I can only suggest you search "The ordinal 459 could not be located in the dynamic link library urlmon.dll" and try the various fixes you find.

SSL again.  Restarting in release mode.

Another SSL crash.  Restarting

The dialog box is resizeable. Just drag the top of the box down to make it shorter then move the box up and you should see the play button.

The server insisted on applying 0 counterstrike damage until it did some damage. I've explained why that's futile. Let's see if it listened to me. Restarting.

1. Login - this is usually solved by checking the "Delete TH6 Files" check box.   2. No disk - I've had this happen to me also.  I have two hard drives and one of them sleeps when not in use.   I think the game sees the sleeping drive but can't access when it's sleeping.  I've gotten into the habit of running windows explorer and just getting a directory listing of that drive.  That wakes it up and the game runs.   3. Net7Proxy error - there's a problem in the proxy when shutting down.  It's a low priority issue as it doesn't affect the game.  Just ignore the error.

Well since the servers' been up I'd say it looks like your communications is being blocked, perhaps by a firewall.

Are you running our LaunchNet7 (v2.0.0)?    What Host have you chosen in the Server Host drop down?  It should be sunrise.net-7.org.   When sunrise.net-7.org is chosen, what do you see in the text box to the left of the Check button?  Should be something like ONLINE-381.   If you have chosen sunrise.net-7.org then your problem could be a DNS problem.  In a DOS box try running this command:  tracert sunrise.net-7.org.  What IP address does the sunrise.net-7.org name resolve to?  Are you able to trace a route all the way to the server?

Ishuan station isn't showing in Castor/Ishuan.

Restarting

When you enter a price do not use a comma like 14,985. It will result it 14.00.

I suppose it's possible your dns isn't working. Open a command prompt window and enter nslookup sunrise.net-7.org It should come back with an ip address. If it does then enter that ip address in the host combo box. If it doesn't then try using 74.208.192.215. Then press the Check button.

Try deleting "Program Files (x86)/EA GAMES/Earth & Beyond/Data/client/mixfiles/global.th6".

I'm using FF 16.0.2. The pages were screwed up but now they look okay and I didn't do anything. The only page still screwed up is the Members page.

FWIW: I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and the character creator put my avatar in C:\ProgramData\Westwood Studios\Earth and Beyond\Character and Starship Creator\Avatar1.dat. Also, I already had 2 characters and when I ran the client I didn't see my new character. I had to rename the .dat file to Avatar3.dat (an empty slot #) and then I saw it. Finally, my new character's name was Character #1. I was concerned about that but once I selected it I was able to change the name.

You can also try deleting or renaming Program Files (x86)/EA GAMES/Earth & Beyond/Data/client/mixfiles/global.th6. There was a time when the updater was sending that file but it shouldn't because the client creates it if it doesn't exist.

If I remember correctly I think you have to warp to it.

I saw that once. I got around it by minimizing the first client's window and I was able to start a second one. When it worked I just figured the client was looking for it's window. Perhaps I was just lucky.

Try the downloads link on http://www.net-7.org again. Note: you may have to click it a few times before you see it. I'm running FF and the first time I clicked it it did nothing but the second time I saw the downloads page. You can also try http://www.net-7.org/downloads.php

This sounds like a great change. Thanks guys!

I don't recall my shields recharging while cloaked in live but then I can't remember the name of the guild I was in either. I think it had the word Angels in it like Dark Angels or something like that... I do recall my reactor discharging while cloaked, presumably to keep the cloak going? If the shields should recharge while cloaked shouldn't the reactor discharge that much more (or by some factor) otherwise where's the energy coming from?

A rough sketch of something that just came to me. Feel free to modify or toss it. Note: Credit can mean fame and/or reward ($, faction, items, etc.) Explorers discover unknown places. Once discovered they are no longer unknown in that only the first explorer to discover an unknown place gets credit for the discovery. An explorer can discover unknown places by chance and also by following clues. A chance discovery happens when an explorer moves to within x distance from the place. Clues in the form of tablets could be obtained from loot. Only explorers can read these tablets. To other professions the inscriptions look like giberish (an opprotunity for trade). Once an explorer discovers a new place all clues are deleted and the place will only function for a trader. The first trader to go there gets trade credit. Now the place will only function for a warrior and the first one that goes there gets credit if he/she survives (allows for diplomacy or combat). Once an unknown places has been visited by all three professions it disappears. A possible change would be that a place would randomly accept just an explorer or just an explorer and a trader or all three professions.

so what file had the offending character in it and where was it?
