Can't connect to test servers

[Nisheeth]

1. I just installed Ninjam and find that I can't access any of your four servers. Does Ninjam have a problem with firewalls?

2. In the .cfg file, what does one need to do to the two variables path and session?

3. Having set the server up, how does one connect to it?

Ninjam should not have any problems with firewalls, but here are two scenarios in which there may be problems:
1) You are on a network that you do not control, and your network administrator deems that all communications on non-standard ports are not allowed. IE, she turns off all active and passive traffic on 2049. I've seen this before.

2) You are on a network that you control, yet you have a personal software firewall installed that does the same thing.
Try adjusting the personal software firewall to either allow
connections from NINJAM on a blanket basis, or open up the port for active connections on port 2049.

3) There is a perceived problem of not being able to connect, but you can connect, but you get booted.
This happens when you cannot swallow all the data that the NINJAM server pushes to you.
Make sure you're on a connection that can support it.
The requirements are sufficed by a normal Broadband connection.
*Not* dialup

I'm shooting in the dark without any further information.
If you don't have any of these situations, then I'm boggled.
The NINJAM client is really pret-a-porter, and normally does not require any configuration from the client end.
