Spiffy Sims troubles

[xTERRIx]

don't know if i'm posting in the right section, but is anyone having trouble getting into Spiffy Sims? everytime i try to visit thier website, it says i'm using an invalid IP. by the way, how are zombies created in University?[sounds like a stupid question to me, but i don't care:rabbit:]

Works for me. But that's kind of interesting. Why would a website that's not a gamesite where you actually play the game online want to get around your firewall? And why did my firewall allow it?

Here's what I got to fix it: Chances are your firewall is blocking the transmission of your IP.
Disable your Firewall or internet security software.

I don't think so, if I get that error message I'm deleting them from my favs, if that's the only fix. lol

Hmmm.. well i turned it off (as well as my other two security thingies) and it's still not working.

Look what I found a patch from Microsoft. Apparently an invalid IP can also be caused from limited connectivity and there is a bug in the SP2 pack that can cause it. I've learned something new.
Anyway here is the link with directions on how to fix it. Maybe this is where you should start first.

then try this if the patch doesn't work after reboot:
Unplug your DSL and Router if you have one from both the wall and jack.
Wait 2 minutes
Plug in the dsl box, after all lights are on other than ethernet if your using a wireless router, plug back in the router.  
If your not using a router, just let it refresh and then try the site again.

Seems to me an ipconfig/release/renew would work just as well. I'll wait till I hear something from you if either of these things worked. If not I'll search some more.

If you want to make a Zombie in Universty, you first need to earn the "Cow Plant". Once the Cow Plant eats a person or your friend, you can call up the Grim Reaper using an asperation reward, (I think, I'm not sure) If your sucessful he'll be normal (I think) but if your not, he'll become a Zombie! (I think they're kinda creepy though..)

You can also use the InSIMentaor to make anyone a zombie.
