iv been having trouble latly with GW and i can not connect.

When i open GW it "Does" Connect to arenanet (But takes longer than usual)-( usaly 2-4 seconds, now 20-30 seconds)

I get to the log in part and i type in my password.. the code "#058" comes up.

im not having trouble with any routing issues because my internet works fine.

also i use "Virgin Media - Cable"

My friend had this issue to and he said to find a GW "DAT" File and change the name to "Gw.DAT"

i did this and it downloaded about 5750 files.. and he said after he done this it worked for him.

i tried this.. and it still does not work.. also i can not get on GW website.. everything to do with GW is down for me.

Is there server issues with GW with some peple right now?
What can i do to fix this?

Can someone please help me.

Thanks
Eaglwing.

No server issues with me, i'm in Canada though. You can always contact your ISP to see if they imposed a limit on the download rate for GW. Since it's a connection problem, i'd say that it may be your firewall or some program similar to a firewall or the problem isn't on your end.

Just because your "internet works fine" doesn't mean you don't have a "routing issue". In fact, since you can't access GW (while others can), it would indicate that your internet does not work fine. Basically, your internet connection has to go through a number of "routers" and "hubs" to get to GW. There can be a problem with one of these hops between you and GW, which only affects particular routes. It's quite likely there's a whole group of sites you'd have problems getting to, but you may not ever actually go to any (other) of them to know. These things usually clear themselves up after a while - the bad router gets replaced, or the system takes a different route, etc.
