Ok, a rather miserable ending to a 7

Well....you have not been banned/suspended. Its also very unlikely that it is a server hiccup either as that is pretty much a thing of the past (the servers have become reliable to the point that problems are most likely on the user end these days).Forceful rejects typically result from entering the wrong IP address OR using an old ipaddr.txt file (with old IP addresses in it). Try writing down the exact IP address from one of the servers in the Who Is Online list at vatsim.net. Servers in this list are active and current.Good Luck.George S.

Thanks George, I'll try that instead.I was in fact using the server IP's from the ipaddr.txt file, perhaps I ought to actually start checking the status of the servers on ServInfo :)

It's also possible that the server you were on was restarted for some reason and hadn't finished coming back up when you tried to reconnect to it.The "forcefully rejected" message means that there is no server configured at the address you are using, either because the address is wrong or the server is down.cz
