[username/password error when connecting to my own server]

Grr...I picked a bad day to try this game for the first time then

[username/password error when connecting to my own server]

I just tried out DropTeam and ran a dedicated server using the command line example in the .PDF file.

I tried connecting via DirectPlay to 192.168.1.100 (and noticed that numpad data entry was disabled btw) and got the following error:

Your username and password do not appear to be valid.

I JUST registered a new account via the in-game account screen and received no error. If I try to create a new account with that username, I get a 'username already in use' error.

Any ideas?
