It means at some point in time during the registration process, the computer loss connection to the network. There are three potential things to look for:

1. Ensure that the ethernet cable is secure on both ends of the connection.

2. If you are using wireless, please make sure you are in a University building that has wireless access, and that you have good signal strength.

3. If you have a firewall different from the default Windows Firewall, please make sure that the connection is allowed by the firewall, or disable the firewall.
