Might be your internet - error #2048 usually happens when it can't contact the server. Specifically, port 843 might be blocked. Can you access "http://www.pawdgame.com:843/" (typed exactly like that, with no quotes)? This should either give you an "invalid http response" error, or display something starting with "?xml", depending on what browser you use.
Other than that, try refreshing the page, or restarting your computer. You can also try the downloadable client, which should be able to give a different error in those situations. :3
