    The House always win in the long run!! :D

    my bets are on the portable local KMS servers - maybe a photo finish with the WMC early permanent activations! :)

    Try
    Code:
    lunar21.no-ip.org
    If you still get an error, email me at [email protected] with your PC name and error and time you last tried and I will see what the servers are saying :)

    Forget the +2 for now on. As s1ave77 said above, set it to your timezone and just sync. Then try again, also what full server address are you using?
