When trying to run and load Trade Wars game Server, I get the following error

ERROR -1 (60) connecting to server: twgs.casacam.net

Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?

Thanks
Richard.

It means it can't connect to the host twgs.casacam.net.

Is it up? What TCP port are you attempting to connect to? Is it listening on that port?

It is up and running on port 2002. It's also an open port. I think it's a timeout problem. Is there a way to get SBBS to wait a little longer to get the connection?
please try it if you'd like
twgs.casacam.net:2002
or
73.242.87.217:2002

No, it's just using the standard socket "connect()" function.

please try it if you'd like
