server connection problem

about a week ago (i think), my vassal went from working fine, to my not being able to get to the Federation and Empire server at all. i don’t even get offered the option to “look for a game online”. i check server stats, it knows there are servers out there.

i have a vista box, java 6.21, vassal 3.1.14. i would suppose that something got upgraded/ reset and just isnt letting traffic go through, but since every darn thing updates automatically (and i’m pretty uninformed about these magic boxes in general), i don’t have an intelligent guess what component is the culprit. i’m just bright enough to check my firewalls; they aren’t the problem.
