DBserver madness

I searched and saw some hit and miss information, just thought I would check and see if anyone has a work-around for this.

For the last several days I keep getting the silly dbserver error. Yesterday I had a little luck after I rebooted my system but today that seems to be rather useless. Any word on a fix or a workaround to get past it? It seems awful silly to be on/off this long.

Any helpful ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I know there was an issue the other day with this. They had an emergency maintenance though, and I thought that cleared it up.

One thing I found a while back with the DBServer error, if you aren't seeing a lot of people that are getting it at the same time, is that it can very easily be your firewall software.

The DB Server uses a range of UDP ports. Double check to make sure you have the FULL RANGE of recommended UDP ports open in your firewall. Don't just open up a few, open the FULL RANGE.

One, particularly bad, firewall packages I had, had the ability to blanket "Allow" a program access through the firewall. Would have been nice, except the "Allow" only allowed it to use TCP ports, and not UDP. To make matters worse, you couldn't open a RANGE of UDP ports, you had to open them one at a time. Even having a good solid understanding of firewalls, and ports, and the implications of opening them up, it was a true pain in the butt. Needless to say, I quickly dumped that firewall in favor of one that is much more sensible.

I haven't been able to connect for 2 days now. I keep getting the BDserver error as well. I get the error when trying to connect to any server. I haven't found anything that helps yet. Anybody else having this problem?

Same problem...absolutley nthing I have tried; image check, reboot, login to test, will resolve issue....NCSOFT HELP!!!!!!

Is this related to Login Server?

Hubby is on the game now on his 'puter, we're networked through the same system, and I am unable to get past the login screen. I am getting the "login server is not responding" message. .... Hubby just got the same thing attempting to log my account in on the laptop.

I AM able to log in to test.

The last time I was logged in on live was night before last, and the post-game patch loaded up.

This is just weird.

ETA: curiouser and curiouser.. now it's working again

I have no issues with the login server. I can get to the point where I can see the server list, but it doesn't matter which server I click I always get the "Lost connection to DBserver" error.
