xsbs52x

hey people. so, ive just bought red alert 2 (finally), mainly for internet play, and i find that the WOL server is down, and goes down frequently. so i searched around and found XWIS. i downloaded it, made an account through their webpage, and followed the instructions on their site. but when i type in my nickname and password in RA2, the Login button is still disabled. ive been sitting here for the past half hour or so trying to get this thing to work. i have an account with XWIS, but not with WOL. and i cant create one. i click Create New Account, and it asks for my birthday, and my e-mail. i enter that stuff and click continue, and i get a message that says requesting nickname (which i dont understand because it didnt ask me to pick a nickname), and then it gives me an error and tells me to check to make sure im connected to the internet. and when i try to manually create an account with WOL, it says the registration page is not available, and it may be under maintenence. so i cant create or manange an account. in my information, the nickname is set to default, and thats the only option. when i try to do a quick match, it brings me to a logon screen. i type my nickname and password, but the login button is still disabled. by the way, its updated to version 1.006. any help would be greatly appreciated.
