    Thanks Kev.

    Unfortunately I have been busy all day. My One Tel account went active today, and I already have a new table set up, but cannot access it.

    Annoying thing is, once I have made this table active, I probably will not want to access CW for quite some time.:(

    It's offline again at time of posting this.

    Must be some serious problems/or major upgrades taking place.

    Remember after about a week ask about your credit for signing-up online but I never had to as after a few days it showed up itself anyhow.

    Oh, and the other thing I wanted to check was if the CW client was geared up for this AbroadDial service that was mentioned in another thread earier this week regarding mobile calls for 5p.

    Might be the reason why the service is down. Orchid could be trying to upgrade for this number;)

    I'm actually in discussion with someone named Jim at Orchid about this (via email) so I don't think its down for that reason.

    Anyone having trouble connecting to the Orchid server tonight? Got my dialler yesterday & am trying to log in & do my routing table, but I can't connect to the server. A quick Google suggested pointing your web browser at the server, if it displays gibberish then it's working, I tried it & get "Server Application Error".
    Just wondered if anyone else using this software could give it a try...?

    Thanks

    Youreds!
    same problem, never been able to sort it out. If you do let me know wat I'm doing wrong plz

    Should be working OK now (at least for the next 3 or 4 hours!)

    Was told that the problem was someone from the States hacking into their server, so they are beefing up the security.

    I'm not sure if dialling-in is possible if the server for CW Client is down but I can imagine you couldn't also dial-in (force home) either.

    I asked them this question when I rang this morning, and it was only connecting to the server that was the problem. Apparently, you should be able to force dial home.
