I'm trying to add another computer and I get an error on the Messages tab saying "Master File Fetch Failed". Please advise as to how to add a second computer to contribute.
The fastest way to do a connection is to copy the account_*.xml file(s) from a computer that is already attached. That way you will be certain that any problems are not the result of mistyping.
Master file fetch failed is an indication of a communications problem someplace. It could be anywhere from the internet connection of your computer to servers that are down. The most usual problem if it persists and other connections are working is a misconfigured firewall/router/proxy.
