Re: Network Connection error 208

Hi Proxos

I tried your solution (and hoped and prayed) but no such luck.

I spoke to my ISP, who advised how to change my IP address. I validated that it had changed and yet I still get the Request timed out error when trying to ping the launchpad.

I've attached the most recent trace below.

Looks like I'm now out of ideas unless anybody else has any solutions i can try.

Other than that looks like im going to have to give up which is a shame as i was really enjoying playing the game again.

    @Hufflepough 

    if this is a routing error the ip address needs to be in a different range, if given an ip address in the same class it will be affected too

    eg if your ip address is 123.456.788 and t=you change it to 123.456.789 same issue will occur

    A VPN is the only known workaround for this sort of issue, which should clear on its own, but a week is on the rare side of time to refresh tables

    Thank you Proxos, i genuinely appreciate the help.

    I have set up a VPN which is connecting fine now and will keep using it whilst I wait to see if the original Network connection fixes itself at some point.

    Thank you for your patience and support
