Spring RTS Engine

I'm new to this Spring engine and it's giving me problems when I first start it up. It asks me to look for the server to update, so I do. It says error bla bla bla can't connect. So It tells me to register, so I try to but when I try to it tells me that I am in LAN mode and need to connect first... ???

Sounds like firewall problems to me.

Either way, try running Test Spring (start>All Programs>Spring>Test Spring in winxp) and see if that works.
