During an on-line race after I did my qualifying run and during warm-up I disconnected from the server. This was to re-set my dial up as I have a 2 hour limit. On attempting to re-join the server (via Sierra.com) it would not let me in. It came up with an error message "Server may be full or grid may be locked" Any idea why? I've used this procedure several times with no problems before. Cheers Lee

You simply have to keep trying, it has taken me as many as 10-15 tries over a 10-15 minute period to get back in. My best advice is to search for an ISP that doesn't time out so long as data is being transferred. A lot of the races I have been in take longer than 2 hours which for you would mean a disco mid-race. Good luck.
SImRacer Thanks very much for reply. I thought it might be "just one of those things". Unfortunately, the availability of ISP's who allow unlimited access on dial-up here in the UK are pretty rare. Fortunately, as I've finally got broadband arriving in my area soon ;-) it hopefully will not be a problem for much longer.
