Turned out all I needed to do was restart the modem and router. Works fine now, well as good as it used to at least given the age of my computer...

Thanks for the advice.

My firewall is Virgin Media's PC Guard. Turning it off doesn't help. Everything worked fine on Sunday morning then it stopped letting me connect on Sunday afternoon. I didn't download any new software and I don't recall changing anything in between times.

When logging in to City of Heroes and selecting the server I get a 'cannot connect to DBserver' message (I usually log in to Union but I get the problem on the other servers too). I've had this problem since Sunday afternoon. Since I found that I was also unable to access the uk.cityofheroes.com website I assumed that it most be a problem with servers. However, I've just looked at the forums and haven't seen any messages about server problems I'm now wondering if it's just me that's having the problem. I'm also having some trouble with the plaync website. Is anyone else having these problems?
