    the Demo is the original EA/.Westwood install disk image,  back in the original live  2000 to 2004  when you installed the demo it would go to file planet to verify the image coded was valid  and then once confirmed it would continued the install,  since EA discontinued support and shut down EnB in 2004  all file planet does is say yeah go ahead,  Per agreement with EnB  we can not change this or make any changes to the actual Game core or Game engine, Since this game is over 20 years old  the graphics and Game play are not to the holding level of more current games, and while you can play solo,  the games original intent was for group play with the different players and professions each bringing something different to the group.  

     

    if you follow the install procedures that are listed here in the forums and also in the FAQ's on the Net-7.org (portal page) the game does install very smoothly and quickly, once install you will need to install the Net-7 launcher, as the EA launcher bundled with the game WIL NOT WORK, it points to the old EA server, You must run the Net-7 Launcher to start playing the Game,   on you initial run it will run updates for the net-7 launcher  once that's completed just follow the onscreen prompts to update the EnB client,  once that is done, it will take a while ,  you can run the game..

    also check the following items  the Net-7 launcher executable, the EnB Client, and EnbConfig,  ensure that they are running as administrator rights and check the compatibility to at least winxp sp3. this should take care of some or all of your issues,  and then check your antivirus and Firewall software to allow these programs access and free pass to ensure that their not flagged as an issue program.

    PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING but server status, and we only need one server status post we all get the notification when someone posts,  and some of us are trying to sleep.  every post pings my computers and my cell phones ,  also no conversations on this thread,  we know the server is down  and it will be posted when it comes back up  no need to keep saying its down, WE KNOW, and it may be in work, every time you post it pings us and we have to stop what we are doing to see what it was, So only one post one time  Please.

    This Does work  I use it almost daily on my W10 and 111 machines,  hover over the EnB taskbar tab  when the preview windows open select the one you want to move, right click on the preview window and right click select move on the Title bar of the window a 4 pointed arrow appears that means your in the move routine move window to your select location,  repeat as necessary  for each window. that is all there is to it,

    you might need to set the compatibility setting under the right click context menu for the net-7, *.exe and EnB, Exe files

     

    winxp sp3  seems to be one of the setting s that work the best,  also  double check that you are running everything as Administrator.

     

    also on the net-7 Launcher  mark the 4 vertical boxes near the center of the launcher screen,,  Packet optimization Prototype reorder Etc.

    I logged in no problem, just now,  check your router, Firewall, And Anti virus to make they they don't interfere with the Net-7.org and EnB game are set to be allowed and white listed,  also on the Net-7 Launcher make sure all four of the boxes, Packet optimization thru Mouse lock are marked

    If you wish to have your Avatar name Changed  this includes adding the profession initials, Your Request Must be Submitted Via the GM tickets System, So that we have a paper trail and prof of the request,  This is to protect you from getting your Avatars from being changed by someone else,   If the name(s) are available the names will be changed and you will get a response back through the GM Ticket System that the names) have been changed, 

     

    Be Signed into the Net-7.org (Portal Page) then go to the WebHelp page  then to the Ingame issues (GM Support) selection  DO NOT USe the Tech/Web/Portal Selection as anything there goes to the DEVS, Not, The GM's.  The InGame issues GM Suppport Does Work  I tested it  BUT YOU MUST BE SIGNED IN to the Net-7 portal page in order to use it

    The Good News is that today The Gateway Modem/Router came in, It was an easy install just move the cables over plug it in and wait for it to finish configuring itself and log in when it was ready,  this new Gateway is Fiberoptic compatible (even has the innards and connector for the Fiber the guy i talked to was going to send the same model gateway i was using,  but he said  nom i have to send you a Fiber optic capable one,   (this makes me wonder when they are setting the area up for Fiber optic capability,   any way I am back up and ready to log in to the game in a moment.    I am back in game
