Server not showing up
« on: January 09, 2013, 10:10:03 AM »
This often an issue I understand but I've tried the real direct connect with the right IP, i've rebooted computer, rebooted connection.

I see the other servers in my history, i can log in to them but not POTM as it shows as offline, what can I do?

It took 3 hours for the server to reappear. I do wonder what;s causing this.

Do this: http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=13693.0

Goes around GameSpy and all that nonsense, straight connect to server. Everything runs a lot smoother, though occasionally random level 1 chars I've never heard of appear in my vault.

This is an internet problem - a connectivity issue not between your computer and internet, but with the server and your Internet Provider.

If you perform a TraceRoute to the server IP, it will display the number of hops or servers (one per line) and the miliseconds it took for each hop.

Most likely, when you cannot see PoTM it is because one of the servers along the way drops the packets.  You might need to wait until the problem is happening again to run a traceroute, and then you'll give the information to your Internet Provider to look into.
