Login Server Down?

[TetsuoK]

When I get to the server select screen, it is blank; there isn't a single server displayed.

It has been doing this all evening.

I haven't changed a thing to my configuration on my computer between today and yesterday; that which would cause this.

Step 1) Run eqgame.exe -patchme (like i always have)

Step 2) Enter account name (TetsuoK) & password

Step 3) Click connect

Step 4a) "A Connection to the server could not be reached etc etc
b) "Error: Timed out
c) "Logging in" -- 5 or 10 minutes goes by and I restart program. go to step 1)
d) I get to server select screen and everything is blank
e) I get to server select screen and it lists my servers, I click on my preferred Server (VZ/TZ) and then am told "A connection error occurred"

Forced to go to Step 1.

Been doing this the last 5 hours. Its ridiculous. I havent' changed anything in my system since yesterday, and it worked fine all the way until 4am this morning.

wanted to also add: When I navigate www.eqemulator.net in my web browser (And leaving it up in the background) , i have a greater success rate in getting to the server select screen,but only marginally so. Might be out of coincidence.

From command prompt, I have pinged the eqemulator.net server numerous times and only received a success rate of about .03% in a single return by my logs.

FYI: With no changes with my setup, With no changes with my LAN, WAN, or ISP Network config, I finally logged in at 1am PST.

All pings stayed the same to all other locations I was bouncing it to.

I just managed to get on to the eqemulator.

The login server needs work.

traceroute shows traffic being dropped at the gateway from reach to infolink from here. I'm not convinced it's the server.

Login server does need work but trust me this time it was your connection.

A lot of people I've helped , swore up and down, their PCs where not the culprit - I can tell you, if you browse a lot of 'underworld' sites, get a lot of 'free' software, and/or exchange email without protection. then you probably have 'donated' much of your bandwidth to the 'internet snakes', which in turn will slow you down with online games, etc.

This link has a compilation of links and things I do, when I help friends clean up their polluted pcs.
Even if you don't think I'm right, even if you think you're OK - you should try this anyway (it will only make your PC better ).
