Okey that's my story
I've this problem for 2 days by now


I tried anything that could help , I read the stickys in sro.net forums...(Yeah including the c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts thing...)
Evreything is fine...
So today I called my ISP...(As some guys suggested me)
I talked with them and they said it isnt their problem and they can run into the game w/o any problems...so they said maybe I got firewall or something ...told me to turn it off - DIDNT Help ...So I reinstalled it (the Zone Alarm Firewall)
Still doesnt work ...Also I turned off the Windows Firewall ..

Still the same problem .


What else can I do to fix the problem ... I tried evreything!!

TBH, im sorry my firewall at WORK has blocked Photobucket and imageshack .. so if u have posted ur image over there.. i cannot c it....

Try this:

C:>WINDOWS>System 32>Drivers>Etc>Hosts

Open hosts with note pad and you will get this(I got it in dutch):

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# Dit is een voorbeeld HOSTS-bestand dat wordt gebruikt door Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# Dit bestand bevat de toewijzingen van IP-adressen naar hostnamen. Elke vermelding
# moet op een afzonderlijke regel staan. Het IP-adres dient in de eerste kolom te worden
# geplaatst, gevolgd door de bijbehorende hostnaam. Het IP-adres en de hostnaam dienen
# gescheiden te zijn door ten minste één spatie.
#
# Daarnaast kunnen opmerkingen (zoals deze) worden toegevoegd op extra
# regels of gevolgd door de computernaam, voorafgegaan door een #.
#
# Bijvoorbeeld:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # bronserver
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x clienthost

127.0.0.1 localhost

You should put:

102.54.94.97
38.25.63.10

Below: 127.0.0.1 localhost

So you will get:

127.0.0.1 localhost
102.54.94.97
38.25.63.10

Anyway it worked for me.
Hope it will work for you too!
