So I'm not sure if this had ever been posted on here, but if you're still running windows xp, go to start, run, and type in this:

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl


It's pretty amazing. I do not believe this works on Vista, but someone should try it and let others know.

Would this be the error?

You can watch this from any telnet prompt.
Just open towel.blinkenlights.nl from a telnet prompt and sit back and wait.
