I had that problem previous patch. Every now and then I just couldn't connect.

I often switch btwn main server and back up. That seems to do the trick.

Not sure, but perhaps try puting in direct IP address: 194.165.111.35. Also press ctrl+shift+f6 for debug mode and see if you get any response from the server at all.

I tried that betalord, no luck,
I tried reinstalling and deleting registry data, and my comp connects to download the patch, then after installation it just wont connect at all,
There is no delay after pressing the connect button when the error meassage appears, its as if its not even contacting the server.
im a complete novice with this stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks :)
