Connection problems, in one place?

[Aadora]

So... I played from about 6 P.M. server time, doing all sorts of things, from running 5 man dungeons to sitting in OOCC... and I didn't DC or lag a single time.

Well, then I go to RP in Halaa. Once there, everything is fine for about 20 min. Until suddenly, I DC...

When I DC I can't reconnect. It keeps getting stuck on connected, the character page, or even has no message, only the cancel button.

After a while, I can connect again, but once I log back in, my latency has been up to 24k.

After that first time it Disconnects me, it will continue to boot me from the server. However, it won't boot me from the game. So I will sit there ingame not actually even connected, not having any clue I DCd until I try to do something.

I have no idea what is going on, it has happened two times in a row now and it ONLY happens to me in Halaa.

Also a bit more information... during the time that I DC and cannot reconnect, I go to my web browser and will refresh some pages, go to new sites, and my Internet is working just fine...it is only doing this for the server.

---

A bit more... that during the connection problems, if i let it sit for a while, it will finally get to the character page. I enter world, and once the loading bar gets full, it just sits there, doing absolutely nothing.

I can even connect to other WoW servers... it is ONLY CotH that I can't connect to.

Considering it's almost certainly your side as every one else has reported being able to connect (including me), you would have to try a repair tool.

If you could also find your connection log- WOWFOLDER/Logs/connection - and copy paste it here that would be useful.

---

Also, do you use a separate WoW folder for other servers? Or is it all the same folder you use

---

I know Thaddeus is your brother, right? Does he share the same IP, if so, can he connect on his comp? Doesn't matter about the accounts as it's clear you haven't been banned or anything of the sort.

[Aadora]

We are on the same IP.

And I used repair and at the moment, even after repairing, I can't connect at all.

And yes, both servers I play on are from the same WoW folder, I just change the realmlist.

And I can connect to Molten WoW just fine. It's like I am being blocked from connecting to CotH or something.

[Zhaei]

I've no idea why, but I'll try to PM Kret too see if he's changed any settings such as a proxy.

Last questions, do you connect through any proxy sites, what firewall brand do you use, and have you had any other games or programs/websites, anything, that you have had trouble connecting to in the past?

[Aadora]

1. No
2. I have no idea, just whatever Windows 7 comes with.
3. no

I can't find a single logical reason this should be happening. I don't even see a reason that this should be POSSIBLE to happen. Others can connect, and I can connect to other 3.3.5 servers. So it seems to me that ONLY the connection between me and the server is being, I dunno, blocked or something.

---

In fact that is all I can really think of...

Is that my computer is specifically being blocked from the server.

[Zhaei]

Ah, windows firewalls... side note, invest in a branded firewall, it's worth it, seriously.

I can't help you from here, but I've PMed Kretol to see if he's changed any settings recently. You won't be blocked, as you half got in before, and bans/IP blocks are instant, not that I'm suggesting you'd get such a treatment.

Windows likes to do things to your computer without telling you, and you should try checking for some stuff in your control panel, system and securiy, windows firewall for any reason it could have blocked WoW from getting through.

[Aadora]

If it had blocked WoW, I wouldn't be able to cnnect to other servers.

Unless it can somehow specifically block logon.conquestofthehorde.com

There's a free version but I'd recommend in the paid one.

Yeah, this is true. I'll wait on Kret and get back to you

[Aadora]

I'm trying to just flat out turn my firewall off, and see if that fixes it... but when I go into the "Turn Windows features on or off" window, it sits there on "Please wait" and doesn't bring something up.

I think my computer is about to get thrown out the window.

[Zhaei]

Don't turn off your firewall, nonononononono don't don't dont!

You should never turn it off unless you know exactly what you are doing. Just be patient and wait for Kret to get back to me, It's not the end of the world

[Aadora]

Perhaps not, but it's making me pretty mad.

The only logical reason for any of this is that my internet provider has blocked my connection to -logon.conquestofthehorde.com-

And I don't think they are even allowed to do that soooooo yeah. This shouldn't be happening.

---

If I let it sit for like, 10 minutes, then it will eventually make it to "Success!", but that's it. It won't go any further.

[Zhaei]

Of course not, I'm 99.9999% sure your ISP wouldn't block something like that if anything. Sometimes weird poo happens with computers, patience is a virtue.

[Aadora]

One I no longer possess.

Nah, just kidding.

I am going to take this time to write up a profile.

[Kretol]

I've no idea why, but I'll try to PM Kret too see if he's changed any settings such as a proxy.

No connection settings have been changed recently.
