Entanet users and WoW

Teki187 · 7 Mar 2008 at 16:50

Anyone using Entanet resellers could you please try and do the following:

open cmd (with administrator for vista users)

ping eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com

Tell me what you get please?

Reason im asking is for 2 weeks i've been unable to connect to wow, my isp cant ping them and neither can i.

Just wanted to check if its my isp being *****.

It's a sign, stop playing!

I get request time out for that. But i can play wow.

Nymins · 7 Mar 2008 at 16:55

Im on ADSL24 and it says "Request timed out". But i can still log onto WoW fine.

Don't you have to actually ping the server I.P and not just eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com?

I have no idea.

But Tech support said to ping that and see what you get.

I just cant log on at all, its driving me nuts.

Request timed out here

Same request timed out on ukfsn. :S

Seem to be getting problems connecting to a few websites/servers recently.

I've just reformatted and on a fresh vista install.

Just installing WoW now.

Timeout on UKFSN mate.

It has to be an ISP issue. I'm with TitanADSL

Reformatted Vista 64bit.
Reinstalled WoW.
I managed to get the downloader to work, but now its stuck on success! and if i cancel "getting realm list".

sure wow rejects pings etc doesnt it? I remember reading about it during beta for people with connection problems, got told pinging was of no use =/

Defiantly cant be a router issue.

I have all the ports forwarded correctly.

Unless updating the firmware on the router can course ports to be blocked?

I used to be on ADSL24 but now on Virgin 20mbs and i cant ping it either request timed out and my Office BT broadband connection request timed out. Although i think warcraft may be blocking a large number of ISP IP ranges!

Can't ping that hostname from Be.

Traceroute seems to get stuck somewhere in telia.net

Times out from UK Online (24mbps LLU) too. I think we can safely say this server drops WAN pings LOL

Yeah, but for some strange reason, tech support on wow asked me to do it.

Can a router firmware upgrade break port forwarding?

You will find where it is timing out is correct, Blizzard will have their router set to drop traceroute and ping packets etc to prevent DDoS attacks.
