Problem solved. Can't connect to my favourite server.

[Joeman]

So, I fired up tf2 today, to join my friends in a game of 2fort. I open up my server browser and look for EU1, and find it, but when I double click, the server dialog is empty, and says "Server is not responding":

So, instead I open up my friends list to see if I could connect from there:

The server details and everything are fine. So i join the game- connect:

And it stays on this screen for about a minute before this message pops up:

So basically...
A) Does anyone know what the problem is?
B) Can it be fixed?

Thanks for your time.

connect 188.165.211.23:2000

Same thing, connecting for 30 seconds then an error message. Which is strange because I can play on any of the other servers, and everyone else can play on that server :|

EDIT: just trying a tracert

 

[Maddo]

yeah now that is weird..
The only thing I can suggest is reboot your router. fuck it reboot everything... it could just be bad routing.. I dunno

 

[Maddo]

maybe your firewall has blocked that for some reason.. disable and try

I dont know whether this will help:

Rebooted everything, same problem.

Reset your modem. Unplug for 10 seconds then plug back in.

 

[Maddo]

1. Click the Start button.
2. On the Start menu, click Run....
3. Type the following in the Run text box: ipconfig /flushdns

do this before unplugging your modem.. when you unplug it, make sure you unplug the power lead as well.

I flushed the dns in command prompt earlier, 2 router reboots later, it appears to be working. Thanks!
