"i think you need to contact your isp and give them the ip address of the server you're trying to connect to, and they should be able to run some tests"
Have talked to ISP, they are experiencing no issues. are the ip addresses for Siege, Lake Superior, Atlantic all different, since I am experiencing the problem on all of them?
Thank you. the one thing I am finding tracing routes is maximum hops exceeded and after the 13th hop I keep getting 0.0.0.0. Otherwise everything else looks good

"yes i get that message too"
im shocked that program even half way works still ! I haven't seen that in like 10- 15 years now
"maybe you need to check just connection to login server, but i don't know what that is, "
I actually ran basically the same thing through the command prompt. I am sure that kind of thing has not changed much over the years. I just want to fix it, this is nonsense. just trying to switch chars on same shard to do restocking of vendors is a pain.
“The login server address on that website no longer appears to be valid, or at least could not check connection to it”
“number of hops doesn't really matter, ping of 44ms is good, so long as there's no packet loss”
It is the maximum hops exceeeded and the 0.0.0.0 that worries me. I can't get into my main shard and after using VPN to visit Siege for training I cant get into Siege without a VPN now. Correction just got into Siege after a few attempts, the first ime in a few hours. Still no luck on LS.
If that does not fix the problem you can try the more powerful command
netsh interface ip delete destinationcache
Apreciate suggstions, I had tried the dnsflush before tried the destinationcache one. No luck with either. What I need to do next is talk to someone on UO's end tech support. Anyone have a numbeer, have not gotten a response with email.
Sounds silly, but have you rebooted the router/modem?
I have TMobile 5ghome internet and have rebooted and reset a few times. I have also used my phone as a hotspot via usb tethering. I have used PC, I have used laptop, I have tried CC, I have tried EC in various combinations.
Of you are using the company provided modem, tell them it quit working and take it back if reboot doesn't fix it.
Morning Pawain. Tell me how that affects my using phone as a hotspot?
No problem, I completely understand vision and typing issues. This seems so simple, I gave them the cure. The use of a VPN totally eliminates the problem. The question is how is it doing it and how to apply the fix so I can log in without the use of a VPN. I cant log in to Lake Superior as is. Now I have some computer skills, but not really in that area. Is it perhaps with the Amazon servers or some code of UO's? They know those answers far better than I.
Eureka, I may have found it. now it may have been unnesessary, but did afew steps flushing dns, resetting internet etc, but set up custom dns server adress on my adapter using googles public dns address 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 Now i am not positve that is a good longterm solution but I will go with it for now. If someone else has a better long term solution , please let me know. Still puzzled why that would affect different machines tho.
Don't.really drink anymore but this calls for celebratory one and treating myself for meal tonight. Skol
The prcess of changing the adapters setting is actually pretty easy if you need assistance
Fiinally got a response from "UO" Broadsword support. It was an email telling me their emails weren't getting through. Leads to the question, if your emails aren't getting through, how did I get this one? This observation. I don't seem to have an issue with anyone else, so maybe it is not everyone else that has the problem, it's you.
I received a support email a month ago that said, rather off-handedly, that their mail server did not sync properly with MS Outlook. Seemed a bit peculiar to me.
