Error connecting to the Server

Technical Support & Bugs

I’ve been trying to get my nephew setup so we can play on-line. They can browse to www.vassalengine.org and ‘see’ the server/rooms there. When they open Vassal, open a module, select ‘Look for on-line game’, they get the following error stack:

Can anyone help?

I am also having the exact same issue with my Vassal.
