Default actually............

Actually hes right..

Being in IT myself I can see when theres a connection issue. There are HUNDREDS of people with this problem albeit alot of them have done this incorrectly.

You say the files are located on this server? Are they located on a subdomain? I noticed a lot of people can access the main site but can't get into the forums. I personally got this working but have a few friends who cant get access. I thought originally by looking at the log files that it was trying to connect to www.foreverhacking.com and also noticed that the people having these problems where able to see the site but unable to ping the site.

Does the patcher use an address or an IP to connect? I know for a fact there are lots of people having connection issues and I do agree with those that say this is definatley a dns issue. Could we change the patcher to connect to an IP address instead of a named address? Also could we move the files to the root domain instead of having it on a subdomain if thats the case?


Thanks
