[humboldtlude]

hey there guys. returning after an extended absence and when i try to log in with my previously functional install, i get an error screen when i login basically stating that i dont have internet. tried multiple reinstalls, installed on alternate computer, downloaded alternate ISO install, tried current p99 files, tried old p99 files, added port forwarding and exceptions to firewall, added port fwding on router, reset all network hardware and STILL nothing. i need help. i want to play with my buddies again and its frustrating to even be able to log in.
