Default Re: Server-hosted games - machine going to sleep?
Here's a wild theory totally out of left field.

In the cases where connectivity has been lost, I'm pretty sure I've been keen to get my turn, and tried connecting a couple of minutes after the due host time, only to get the "Waiting for game info" message. I've had to CTL-ALT-DELETE out since the window doesn't respond to anything else in that state.

"Damn", methinks, "it's still hosting". Then, after a few more minutes, I can't connect at all.

Could it be that attempts to connect while the server is hosting is what's causing the problem?
