When the Test Your System applet returns a response other than Successful, it indicates that you have a network firewall or proxy blocking all or some of the outbound ports that the live draft uses.

This is more common in work environments, so if you are testing your system at work, we recommend trying it at home using a commercial ISP. Additionally, if you are using any hardware or software firewalls at home (although not likely), this could be an issue.

The draft tester may also fail if you do not have a recent version of Adobe Flash Player installed. While the draft tester will attempt to automatically upgrade Flash for you, this does not always prove 100% successful. You may need to manually upgrade Flash and try the draft tester again.

And, if all else fails and you cannot get the Test Your System applet to give you a Successful response, you can still join an Autopick league, run an offline draft, or prerank players and have the live draft pick for you.
