What Is The Point Of 'Connection Failed'?

I don’t see the point of the ‘Connection Failed’ message. It doesn’t help. And IMO shouldn’t exist. One second the animation with the blue squares indicates that a computer has been found and MGP/Metaserver are connecting. Next second I get a ‘Connection Failed’ for 0.5 of a second and that’s it. No reasons given, no troubleshooting steps. Makes no sense.
