login server down?

[Disastorm]

is the login server down i just tried to connect and it said couldnt connect to it?

[twb010]

the login server is up, you just cant login. the login server isnt taking any new ppl, so you cant login. i have the same problem. please dont ask when it will be fixed, no ones knows. just be patient.

How do you know the login server is up ? I can't login either, nor ping the login server from two ISPs, nor login to IRC, so I would assume it is down, or unreachable from my two ISPs (in the UK). Not that I am complaining ... I will just try again tomorrow or the next day

Are you using the old login servers or the new?

IRC has been up all day, but one of the IRC servers went down, so maybe that has been why you were unable to connect to IRC.

The login server for 5997 (0.5.0) has been up all day as far as I know. I've seen people logging into the beta server all day.

There have been reports that 5999 (0.4.4) went down, but I am unable to verify this.

I am using

[Registration Servers]
{
"24.174.184.4:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"24.174.184.4:5997"
}

and been getting error 1001 all evening, worked fine yesterday. Maybe just a local problem ...

hhmm well the issue is then you dont know how to read.


[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5999"
}


for 4.4
and

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}


for 0.5.0

Well, actually..

eqlogin1.eqemulator.net = 24.174.184.4

% host eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
eqlogin1.eqemulator.net is an alias for lethalencounter.serveftp.com.
lethalencounter.serveftp.com has address 24.174.184.4
%


Nothing like jumping down someones throat.. Geez..

[mattmeck]

ww.eqemulator.net

ect ect i found these without using search, hence the coment you dont know how to read.

I read well,

[Registration Servers]
{
"24.174.184.4:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"24.174.184.4:5997"
}

is equivalent to

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}

I got my eqhost.txt during the 'transition' when Hogie quit and before the DNS got updated.

Like I suggested, it was a local problem, to me, i.e. a couple of UK ISPs, I tried another and now I can connect.

I know a lot of people post on this board without reading, but I am, not one :)

No hard feelings, I hope :)
