Ok i have a little problem here. I just finished creating my own zone and i downloaded it fine and the two programs started up perfectly and it said connected to billing srever or something like that if you know what i am talking about. But I can't go into the zone. It just stays red al the time like it's off line. I am on a wireless network connection and the router computer is not the one that i am useing. So can someone help me please. You can either post it here or e-mail me here thanks.

"Router Computer"?
Do you have a computer acting as a router?
Anyway, the router post is here.

If one of your computers is hooked up with a router, it is a high chance of that the other computer is hooked up to it too, check that first.

Try going to: http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=542 and setting your router up that way and try again, if that fails, I am then baffled.

Like I said in reply to your other post, IcE, a wireless connection to your router acts the exact same way as a wired. (Just slower and less secure )

Not to get in a debate about it here, but anything wireless can be intercepted and decoded. Not possible with wired (unless they're physically connected, of course).
Edit: Heh, Mine is right. I actually got interference on my FM antenna when there's network traffic . But then again, who's gonna be able to get that close to your router...

You have a wireless setup done at some place like a dorm, somebody around you will collect enouch packets to decode and hack your router. All it takes is time.
As for wired being untouchable, lies. Ever wonder why cable for TV is insulated so much? People used to get free cable by laying a wire next to another person's cable line, usually around 50 feet worth. According to physics, a current running through a wire will create a magnetic field. That field will then create a current for the wire right next to it. The longer they are together, the better the current in the second wire becomes, the better the picture becomes.
That method doesn't work as well for phones (since you have to send and receive data) and power lines (you'll never get long enough cable to get anywhere useful power in second line).
