Webnar didn't start for me.Apr 20, 2011

Excuse me, has the webnar started already? The program just says 'Successfully Connected! Waiting for Orgaziner...". I've check my audio and firewall status, and they seem to be OK.

By this time, the webnar should have started. Should this be some misconfiguration on my system, or the webnar didn't really start?
