Cannot start Top 50 match on one computer, fine on another https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=21735.msg278414#msg278414

Howdy;
I've pretty new to elements.  I play on a home and a work computer (at lunch!).  Everything was fine for the first week of playing.  Then, two days ago, I noticed that I couldn't start Top 50 games (my primary grinding now) at the work computer - it got stuck at "Finding worthy opponents".  I could start Level 3 games no problem.  I checked the forums and tried their advice of refreshing, load it in another browser, restarting, etc and nothing worked.  I went home and it worked fine.  Same thing yesterday and today.   Are you not supposed to play from two different computers?  And why is Top 50 different than Level 2 or Level 3?  Any other suggestions for fixing it?

When you're working noone is worthy eh?  ;)

I am not a tech-wizkid but here are my thoughts on that:

It sounds like your network-admin has installed some kind
of protection against unwanted usage of certain sites perhaps?
T50 should require a different way to set up the game because it features
player-submitted deck: Whereas a straight AI-game starts right away, a
T50 match always has to retrieve the current highscore-decks from the server.
This could cause the problem with your work-related security settings.

Have you tried starting a pvp-match yet?
Do other "multiplayer" applications (such as Kong-games) work?

Thanks for the reply!

The admin to the network (who is my friend and shares an office with me) about coughed up his diet Mountain Dew when I asked if he was blocking any game traffic.  "How would I play my games then?"  was his question.  So, no, there is no intentional blocking going on.  Plus, I was able to start a normal PVP game (and get my butt kicked, thanks!). 

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help.

Update:

Just in case anyone else has this problem in the future, after not working for several days, I came in to work this morning and everything works fine.  So I guess this is something that gets cleared up by itself after a while.   
Thanks for the help!
