2. This message indicates a connection problem. The problem could be one of three things: --Go toMAIN – OPTIONS – SETUP. Are there numbers in the white boxes? If not, click from one server to the other ( SYSTEM A to SYSTEM B or vice versa) and SAVE CHANGES . This should have populated those boxes and allowed you to log in.

    B.You will get a REQUEST TIMED OUT. This tells you that you are not able to reach our servers If this is the case, you will need to contact your Internet service provider for assistance and have them open PORT 2000 and provide an explanation of the problem.

    C.The "Reply" or "Request Timed Out" box will flash, then disappear. If this is the case, you will need to contact your Internet service provider for assistance and have them open PORT 2000 and provide an explanation of the problem.

--Are you behind a firewall? If so, contact your firewall vendor or network administrator and make sure that PORT 2000is open so that you can access BEST Direct .If your network administrator is unwilling to open PORT 2000, you will have to trade the system on a computer that is not a part of that network.
