Sorry, I could have explained it in more detail without confusing people. I got my brother into the game, as we both use to play it 13 years ago, and we applied for an IP Exemption so that we could play side by side at my apartment. It was granted two days later. The IP Exemption message I received told me to log off both accounts for it to take effect. I have a desktop computer and he brings over his laptop to play games like civilization over LAN, side by side. Being in constant contact with my brother, we have been trying to figure our a fix for the problem for the last few days. I can access my account form his laptop at his place of residence, but both of our accounts are inaccessible from my apartment (tried on my desktop.) I figured it was my IP address considering that I can not log into either account from my location. When I attempt to connect to the server itself, after successfully logging into the launcher, I am met with: "A connection to the server can not be reached, please check you internet connection..."
I have had no problems logging in from my apartment prior to the IP exemption. I applied for an exemption about 2 and half years ago when I used to play on this server with a friend and it took literally 6 minutes for someone to get back to me and grant it. I am not concerned with the two days it took to get it, as I think that is pretty damn fast, but am frustrated with the inability to log on to this great server. It just doesn't make sense that after an exemption, I can no longer log onto the server.
I have attempted to bypass my router as well as reset every piece of hardware involved with my internet connection. I am still unable to log in from my place of residence and it is, to say the least, confusing the crap out of me.
