Everytime I choose my server, my computer doesn't do snything. And when I come back about 5 minutes later, it say "Disconnected due to abnormal connection"!

This is my first time playing and I didn't even get to log in.

I have the same problem

The servers are either overheated or there´s a maintanence going on... I got the same problem too... looks like it happens ever so often now... well.. one thing is for sure... cant put up a shop when this is going on...

So, then maintanance is going on, or the servers are overloaded? My friend is playing (Sniping) as his AIM says, and I'm trying to get on for my first time, is this still the issue?

Edit: Also I noticed I have 2 servers up, Ruby and Pearl. One being yellow, the other green, What does that mean o.0

Here is a good question: Are you running off of Windows 2000/xp/me or VISTA?

My friend runs off of Xp and never has that problem.
I run off of Vista and have it all the time. It usually happens after I crash or something. And usually I get another error about Gameguard running before that. If you restart it'll fix it but I don't know a permanent fix as of yet.

The green, yellow, red colors indicate population of each server.

Green is like.. very few people in it
yellow is there are a lot of people
red is full
