Cainehill-yeah I tried a bunch of different ways with everything shut off that was running when I went Online. I shut off ZA and spybot and everything but no difference. I might try wiping and reinstalling this weekend.

In the meantime, does anyone have a different IP I can plug in to see if I can connect to a different server?
Mmm - Sheap is the other big hoster (big, juicy, mutton!) I can think of. I could give an IP, but unless he (or someone else) sets up a test game for you to try to connect to (because of passwords, etc), I'm not sure it would help.

Eh - have you tried pinging / tracerouting / telneting? I don't think it'd be a DNS problem, but it could be, or a routing problem, and those would help figure out if it was.

Good luck.

Edit: Oh, and remember: if ZoneAlarm was on at boot, shutting it down may leave the internet shut down. (This is mostly, and definately, true when the vector engine doesn't initalize properly.) In which case, make sure you can get to other pieces of the net. If you can - you're shafted. If you can't - it might be ZA, and rebooting with it turned off might fix it.

Again, good luck.
