Welcome aboard! Sorry for the inconvenience.
The server is working fine so I'm afraid this has to be on your end somewhere. It could be your connection just burped at the time the game was checking for it, but more likely it's something on your system that is preventing new, unknown programs like the game from going online.
The usual suspects are User Accounts Control if you have that, or your anti-virus. I recommend turning UAC off if you have it. Otherwise, be sure you're trying to run the game in a window so that you can see any messages that are popping up from whatever is holding up the show.
If none of that works, please either open a ticket (there's a tech support link in your Start menue folder for Jutland) or send an email to
support@stormeaglestudios.com
Hope that helps.
