    When I press 'Start" it opens a new page. It loads then it says establishing a connection. After like 30 minutes it still hasn't made a connection. Why?

    Sounds like your network's firewall is blocking the port DO use. If you go into your routers setting and set all ports to open this should fix the issue.

    If you are on something like a school / business network then you will have to contact their tech team and ask them to unblock DarkOrbit's port, I think it is 8080 from memory.
    You can also use a VPN to bypass a networks firewall.

    If the problem is to do with blocked ports by your network firewall then no, I don't think so. My university had DO ports blocked and I had the exact problem you are describing across every server until the network firewall was relaxed a bit.

    Thank you Okapi32 for assisting the player with their question.

    General#1, If there is a firewall blocking access to DarkOrbit servers then there is little that can be done. You can contact your network administrator if this is an Educational of Corporate network. If this is your personal network, you can consult the manual for the router/firewall you are using.

    Does the OP have any further questions?

    Best regards,
