Problem description

I managed to get things working once. Then when trying to connect to a game, there was an error that crashed Kai. Since then everytime I try and log in I get the following error message and Kia closes

Your orbital server connection was lost. You will need to restart Kai. This happens for a number of reasons - they are listed below:

- Your internet connection was lost
- Your orbital server is down
- You have been disconnected for using banned language
- An administrator has disconnected you
- You were flooding a chat room

Steps I have taken so far.

- Set port forwarding on multiple ports including 30000 (always setting the kiaport setting in the config tool to match.
- Flipped network adapter select to choose my nic
- checked unchecked enable PAT option
- Uninstalled -> deleted folder -> reinstalled.

Any help would be appreciated.

As has been experience with the other threads like this, it seems to be rather random. He's now once again got things working after chatting to him earlier today.
