SHo! Confusion:

When playing a multi-player game, set to 5 minute turns, how do you signal
end of turn?

I was done so I hit End of Turn.

After a minute I was told either that the game could not be updated, that
we are waiting for another player, or that the turn is over and here we go.

Ok. When I got the first two, I tried hitting it again. I did this until
I got the turn over message.

When I hit it once and just let it go (thinking that polling would do it)
it was checking for turn completion and even when the guy I was playing
was done and had signalled End of Turn, it still kept polling every 15
seconds and never ended the turn.

What gives?

How should I be doing this?

The manual is vague. It says to put the game file on a server and go...

Oh, I'm using version 1.1

Tanks.
