The new update for graal client on 8-18-06 has left several people unable to log on their clients.
For a lot of people the update either didn't take or didn't automatically start.
If this occurs for you and you can't get logged on your client to any server getting the "connection couldn't be established."
Go to your update tab and get the Graal Executable update.
This should fix your troubles.
For those with VIP Start client and on the server menu page at the bottom click start, select "install Packages" and the Graal Executable is in there.
Hope this helps.
