Arenanetworks is doing all sorts of work with their routers. They have recently filtered tons of traffic types that make them more resilient to Denial of Service or flood attacks, but these in turn need correct/compliant support on their servers!

The MTU discovery thing was fixed this past weekend, but (as noted here), will cause problems in other ways. Things will probably be hit and miss for the next week until their network guys get a handle on just what exactly they have done.. and it's implications to a wide network user base.

if you happen to use PEERGUARDIAN2 please disable it before using GW_client,
it blocks GW_servers for good if its up and runnin'
If you try to ALLOW GW_servers in PG2 they wont work since the IP range is BIG
and you find yoursefl hitting ALLOW for gazillions of GW_ip's.

I've sent all this to their support. I hope arenanetworks will get MTU MSS negotiating working.. or remove the icmp filtering/routing until they can get this handled.

I'm forced to use PPPoE (MTU=1492) and I've been able to login/play. There have been periods of time when it takes 2-3 tries to be able to login because it gets stuck on the "Connecting..." screen.

Hmm, simple (and probably dumb) question, but how would one go about adjusting the MTU?

Yeah, it took me forever to figure that out. I couldn't connect starting last night, though it could have started earlier since I hadn't played for almost a week prior to then. It would stall on connecting for a long period of time and then show the NetErr=58 message. Anyways, after messing with my router, dsl modem, and firewall with no luck, I disabled PeerGuardian and now it works. Apparently NCSoft is on their blocklist now. Not sure why. I cannot say it will solve other connection problems, but that's what was happening to me.

Side note, you may want to read up with what's going on with peer guardian if you use it. There is a sever conflict between two groups.

Methlabs.org and PeerGuardian developers in exile - The majority of the Methlabs.org administration and development team have been forced out of their web site following a series of threats and incidents. The member of the group that had been trusted to handle the finances and servers slowly managed to take over each individual part of the web site's assets, eventually claiming control over the entire group and locking out the majority of staff.

Recently, we had several former staff members revolt against the entire P2P community as a whole. They tried to sabatoge Methlabs and attempted to wipe the Methlabs server of all its data.

Unfortunately, they gained access to site backups. In doing so, your passwords may have been compromised, although they are MD5 encrypted. We would like to you login to the Methlabs forums (http://methlabs.org/forums/) and change your password. We sincerely apologize for this issue.

I've never used it nor need to but this is just an FYI. You may want to go to methlabs.org and get the GW server unblocked since this is starting to cause problems with some users.

Well, I can say with all certainty that this sucks.
I cannot even play for a single minute at the time of this posting.
As soon as I am connected and can see my character, my internet connection craps out.

It just stops responding completely, and I am forced to disconnect and reconnect.
Bah, I was hoping I'd have Guild Wars to keep me entertained over the weekend..
Not much chance of that, apparently.

rustycage · Sep 25, 2005, 01:05 AM // 01:05

I too am having the same problem. I haven't played GW for about 2 weeks. Tried to log in tonight and got the "Connecting to Arenanet" 0% status bar screen.

Does anyone have any other suggestions I can try to fix this? Has ANet acknowledged that there is a problem?

Young Hero · Dec 17, 2005, 06:13 PM // 18:13

I was kicked today.When trying to login again I get NetErr=58. Its been 2 hours and still not able to login.I don't use a router and have not touched my firewall.So the Anet problem is back.

arma47 · Dec 17, 2005, 06:14 PM // 18:14

this is not user problem , its their friendly , no point of changing our settings.

First of all hello to every one here.. i just registered as i stumbled upon this forum with same prob's... after 1.5h talk with my ISP's technical.. no result..
next came the stupidest thing, uninstal and reinstall.. and VOILA.. it works.
seems every1 who updated last few days got some bad patch or what ever and that causes error 058 and such... so delete.. install factions and 10mb clean update and should work..

thats from me 4 now..

I have been getting the same problem, it happened after the dragon festival started, i played it for the first day and i haven't got on it since. I havent changed any settings or anything and keep getting error 58,

I noticed the news section bit on the right doesn't come up, which shows is could be something to do with a connection problem on the Anet side, i can still play COD2 and cs:source online.

oggycheese · Jul 02, 2006, 07:33 AM // 07:33

Well i can't connect and the dragon festival is on, maybe theres too many players and they had to filter them an dlet only a certain ammount in at a time, also, they might have a new server up for the dragon festival that might be faulty?

kengkoyto · Jul 10, 2007, 02:13 PM // 14:13

i can't seem to connect also.. there's no news on the right side section..

my problem is that i cannot access www.guildwars.com or www.arena.net or any other site that has these url's in them. I have changed nothing and i've tried this with four different browsers (IE 7, 8 beta 2, Firefox, Safari, and Opera). any ideas? I can access any other web site out there and I've changed nothing.

If anyone has a fix please e-mail me: [email protected]
