I've merged the three topics that you created over a span of less than two hours into one post. First, I direct you to the topic you should have read first:
http://www.tribesnext.com/forum/index.php?topic=234.0 where it spells out that you should expect a lag time before you get a reply. This is a forum, not a chat room. If you desire the chat-room experience, connect to the IRC channel at the address indicated at the bottom of each page.
From what I understand, you followed this process:
1) Installed Tribes 2.
2) Installed the TribesNext multiplayer patch.
3) Attempted to create an account in game but were given an offline/unreachable status on the account server.
4) Attempted to log in with a testing account.
This means that you have a firewall blocking network connectivity to the account/authentication server.
Please read the following two FAQ entries:
http://www.tribesnext.com/forum/index.php?topic=464.0http://www.tribesnext.com/forum/index.php?topic=469.0The second is related to networking problems not necessarily confined to list server.
