Can't Log In !!

Just logged... must be you

Bumping because when I sent a ticket, I did what it said and still didn't help.

Ive had the same problem since yesterday. Not sure if its a PWI thing, my traceroute seems to stop at 216.52.95.73 for every server, but im not sure either how many steps should come after that. Also, i get a short chinese greeting message i cannot understand. Of course, rebooting my computer or router wont help and the game seems to be up to date as well.

I had a chat with PWEs ISP, they said the problem lies with PWI servers, since on the ISPs side everything is static, but they can not ping the PWI game servers. The server my route passes through is border1.pc2-bbnet2.nyj001.pnap.net [216.52.95.73].

Also, hoping this might help solve the problem, this is how things look from the ISPs side:

I hope this gets sorted out soon, right i find myself having a lot more free time on my hands than i would like

It's not PWI's Issue, it's your router. Please disconnect it for 30 seconds, and replug it in.

I just did it and my problem's solved.

This is how i see the servers. I can't login, no matter wich one I choose.
I don't have the firewall activated. The client has the latest patch.
Is there any solution to that?

Have you opened ports for this game? (as in maybe your internet provider is an entity like university that regulates internet portals and stuff, therefore you might need to get permission). I had the same problem, but with JD- asked to open ports for it and played it no problem

Hope that helped and sorry for my english :P

You can't get a ping response from the PWE servers because they have disabled that ability as a step to prevent DDnS attacks.

Also, if you're ping to the server is over around 750ms, it shows blanks for the ping on the server. If memory server correctly, around 1200 or 1400ms the router stops waiting for the return ping and closes the window, essentially dropping the packet. Which makes the 2,000ms+ ping that it shows in the client even funnier. I have no idea how they calculate that number, but it's way wrong.

In any case, run a Tracert from your computer to the game server. Mine looks like this....

Stop one is my first firewall/router, and stop 2 is my second firewall/router.
Stop 3 is the local CO of the ISP I connect to.
Stops 13 and 14 are in PWE-land. You won't ever get a response there because of safeguards on the routers.
Stop 9 is pretty common for getting bottlenecked. My in-game ping atm shows 430ms

I was able to get online for about five minutes yesterday... before it booted me off again with "disconnected from server", my firewall is for sure disabled(went into services and did it that way just to be sure). And it's in "trusted" in my anti-virus.

So, I was on for five minutes or so, then booted off. But, now it won't let me on.

Any ideas? Anyone? It's really frustrating. I've been playing this game for two years, and this is the only time I've had a problem with it.
