Go up one level in this thread



Hi, it keeps telling 'Access Denied'.
I tried other parameters but didn't work. I still thinking
the monitoring software is not allowing the connection.

I'll give up, any way it is not so important, we have lot
of work here, and the spare time is close to 0.
I just have time to come to CCC, check the tournaments
status and things like that.

Thank you, very much.

PS If you have other suggestion, wellcome.
