I have left the states for about 5 days. I currently spending time in Halifax, Nova Scotia up in Canada. However, for some reason. I can connect to the internet at my hotel but I am having an issue connecting to the 1999 Server. It usually hangs when the "Logging onto server list..." window pops up.
Here is what I know:
1.)I connect to a wi-fi service that the Hotel provides.
2.)The Strength of the connection to the network is kinda low (which might be the problem, but I haven't tried logging in closer to the wi-fi router to see if that is the problem. But if I can surf the web right now, then probably that would not be the problem?)
3.) the Bandwidth right now is at 24 Mbps which is about average for this time of day.
The only other thing I would think that could be a factor is a firewall, but I logged on successfully after restarting my computer several times and repairing my IP connection.
I am simply looking for some insight as to why I am failing to connect to the server. My IP should have been Exempt so I dont think that is the Issue either. Anyway, please let me know how I can attempt to remedy this? Otherwise I guess I will just have to wait until I get back home before I can play again.
Thanks for your time.
