I have a firewall and its set up with GW as an exception, it has worked this way for months and I made sure since this issue has been happening that it is still set to an exception and it is. Thats not the issue either.

Have you cleaned the registry before reinstallation ?

Well, i tried too to deinstall and reinstall but it's such a pain... With a 56 kb/s internet speed and 5 kb/s download, i cannot download all that 200 MB of data arr... So... Damned internet speed ! But at least it is only 4,95$/month...
Anyways, i'll still try... It'll only take around 1035 hours arr...

Maybe it is a east coast problem don't know... Geographical problems connections from ISP or something similar...

I don't think it's just an East coast problem since I live on the West Coast and I've been having the same problem since Monday. Honestly I think it's Anet's way of punishing me for spending the weekend playing Onimusha 4 instead of Ecto farming like I usually do.

I'm form Poland and we have the same problem here.

Poison Ivy · Mar 17, 2006, 08:34 AM // 08:34

I'm surprised you havn't gone crazy...

24 hours without GW for me would be considered a murder.

I guess you won't live long with my life then.

I play 1 hour per weekend day.

Xemun · Mar 17, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

I got the same problem .... what can we do ? grrrr

Throm · Mar 18, 2006, 02:29 AM // 02:29

ftp://ftp.guildwars.com/diag/netinfotool_allos_gw.exe

I ran that prog today and afterwards was able to login. It took abt 10-15 min to run.

corrupted bloodline · Mar 18, 2006, 03:58 AM // 03:58

Throm,

I doubt the two events were related. I've run that program 10+ times. I believe all it does is perform tests and provide info for the support team, not fix/change stuff.

BTW - Still no GW for me...well, except for at work.......but not from my home comp.............what, like YOU don't play GW at work?!

Lycan · Mar 18, 2006, 04:01 AM // 04:01

Same here, it had no effect for me either.

corrupted bloodline · Mar 18, 2006, 04:24 AM // 04:24

Throm,

Out of curiosity, when did you begin experiencing the Error 58? Are you still able to connect to GW authorization servers?

Slice n Two Dice · Mar 18, 2006, 04:33 AM // 04:33

I'm not sure of this code=58 error, but I am also unable to connect and it stays on this connecting screens for hours on end. It's really starting to annoy me and I know it's not a problem with my computer because I can play all my other games and the internet runs fine. Got Excellent connection speed and runs at max mpbs.

**sorry for edit** also that FTP router diagnostic thing doesn't seem to load on my comp, I'm going to leave it running hopefully it will load up and I can do it.

art_ · Mar 18, 2006, 09:59 AM // 09:59

I'm having the same problem as the OP. I haven't changed anything recently but when i try to log in i get error 58 after a while spent 'connecting...'

Help

Throm · Mar 18, 2006, 03:07 PM // 15:07

It started last week after the factions thing. I got on sunday afternoon after I ran the test w/ no probs, the merchant thing happened along w/ patches- couldn't login. Ran the test last night, played w/out problems. I did send the test results in and did get a reply saying (of course) ask yer isp.

dubruoy · Mar 18, 2006, 05:19 PM // 17:19

I am throwing in my two cents too. Ever since one of the new "build" updates a week ago, we have been having trouble on both of our accounts. When we go into a new area, it would say "connecting" and then download a whole crapload of files. It got worse and worse and then, yesterday, we got bumped off and when we tried to log on, just got "connecting" then the 058 error.

We have dialup...yeah, I know, but we live on a street that dsl hasn't found yet, and have no router and I have checked the exceptions in the firewall and then just turned it off but to no avail. GW tech support has not responded with anything other than the standard reply about routers and firewalls.

This is very frustrating as I can see from all the other posts. I also looked on the internet and found that people were experiencing this same issue in April 2005 and September 2005 so it is nothing new to GW. Hope they get it together soon...I was looking forward to Factions but am having serious second thoughts now.

Maedhros · Mar 18, 2006, 07:00 PM // 19:00

Should you get the GW client running at the login screen? and Hey dubruoy i got dial-up too! Seems we are getting the same problem... Can you see like... um... You know, normally when you go to the login screen, there is a thing on the left that says the big news in Guild Wars. Seems it doesn't appear now anymore. The little Lightning bolt who says it download but arr thats crappy and long...

I heard back from the GW tech who asked me to download hijackthis from majorgeeks.com and then send him the log file along with a screenshot of the error. My error says:

"Guild Wars was unable to connect to any login servers. This is very likely caused by an internet routing issue."

Then the usual error 058.

I found two other threads on this post from April 2005 and September 2005 where the same issue was discussed. Unfortunately, I don't believe that the problem was really ever solved.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/p...ead.php?t=5570
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=60754

Still waiting to hear from the tech as to what he thinks I should do next. With dialup, no router and turning off the firewall, I believe that the whole problem must be on their end. I have reset the tcp/ip stack, flushed the dns and reconfigured my dialup and everything works the same. I guess we are at their mercy but I know for sure that I won't be buying Factions if this is the best we can expect.
