specify if you're trying Match Maker through the in-game menu or the lspn matchmaker site?

The in game Match Maker will not let you sign in . So that is one problem . The lspn site Match Maker says download failed . You try it a couple of times and the same thing all the time .. The in game Match Maker will not let you type or talk if not signed in . If you apply for a new name ::: will you be messing up the original one you have on the tour . You should be able to use the same for all ...

lol. no one's getting a lot of help from me, because i know absolutely nothing about multiplayer, direct connection, or match maker. but i've seen great posts from murray, et al, on the subject.
chris is correct, the techie forums are probably better. but it gets awfully lonely down there sometimes. (8

It sounds to me like you are trying to play matchmaker found with-in the Links game, but you say you followed lstouradmins instructions.
His instructions are for the matchmaker tab found on this site, what one are you trying to access, if it's this sites MM, I've never bothered to jump through all the hoops needed to be successful, I've always used the one found in the game.
Sorry for all the questions/answers but it's nice to know if we're dealing with a dog or cat before I guess as to the breed
