I'd really like to connect to CaravelNet within the game. I still have a subscription (until April of next year). When I try requesting a key within the game, it says it cannot connect to CaravelNet. When I request a key on the forum and put it in, it still does not connect.

I've tried disabling the firewall, I tried loading GatEB (which used to work on this computer) and that doesn't connect either.

I do see the "TSS released" news ticker on both DROD 4 and 5 but get the same "cannot connect to CaravelNet" when requesting keys on both.

I'm at a hotel currently but don't think they would be blocking anything. Is there anyway I can try pinging the CaravelNet server to see if I can get through that way?

As a last resort I tried using a VPN to connect through my work network and that works oddly. Still not sure where the block is happening though.

Guessing the hotel blocks direct tcp connections

Either that or it blocks direct TCB connections...
