Guys, I have been playign guild wars all day, then, I went to eat my dinner, so I closed the program. I got back, and found I could not load the client?
"Unable to connect.
Guild Wars was unable to connect to the ArenaNet Network. Please verify that your internet connection is working, or try again in a few minutes."

My internet connection is fine, as I am on here. And my firewall settings are allowing Guild Wars. ALSO. Another weird thing, I can't seem to be able to access guildwars.com.... or even guild wars wiki, Is there something wrong with my access or maybe a problem with the European/British servers? I would love some help her! I want to play!

Thanks, Jaseal.

That sucks :/
My gw is working fine atm and I'm in Europe... although I am playing in US districts because I'm in a US guild.

It has happened some rare times to me. It should work just fine and hour later or so. Havn't figured out a way to solve the problem other than wait and hope it goes away - which it does.

It sounds like a DNS error. The Domain Name Server is a computer in you ISP's network that handles the task of translating URLs (such as guildwars.com) into the actual IP address needed. If it doesn't clear up soon, you could try using the free Google DNS service (Google it).

I have this problem too sometimes... usually occurs for 10 minutes... but if u know how to connect to your router release and renew DNS.. it usually fixes it in a more timly manner.

This happens me a lot on my netbook for whatever reason. If I right click on the program, and "Run as Administrator" it loads fine.

I'm with Quaker on it, moreso, i suggest using Google's DNS as default.
