Hello, I have this MMO I am making with a couple of friends, and well my server worked fine for a while, but all of the sudden, when I try to login I get this weird error. I have tried re-downloading SFS pro but it made no difference, I looked at a lot of the files, and there is nothing wrong with them. Please help me, because I need my server fixed or my game is doomed.

Please note, the server starts up fine, but when I press "Login" on my login for the game, the highlighted area below shows up and does not allow me to login.

It's nothing very huge, it's probably a network error. Have you tried restarting the server?

Yes many times. The error only happens when I try to login, and I cant find the file that has the problem with it. Its not like its only my game that has the error, when I use the examples it still has the problem. So something must be wrong with my config file right?

This is a very particular and rare error that is caused by network issues. If it's happening on every login you have probably something like a firewall or packet filter messing up your communication.

Does the problem happen all the times?
Also you said that everything worked ok for a while and all of a sudden there is this problem... very odd. If the problem persists and there's no firewall issue you should reinstall the server.

I found out I had a huge virus and my whole computer crashed, the virus is now gone and I am starting the server up now. I will start another topic if it still doesnt work. Thanks for the help!
