Can't say I've ever encountered a bug like this before. On the funny side I have to Lol that crapcast actually beat FIOS for once.
edit: I can say that the server has been acting very odd for the past week.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
Could he be using a firewall? For example, Peer Guardian blocks a lot of the NCsoft IP's. That would prevent someone from zoning into certain instances.
He tried logging into a different toon, no issues and was able to zone into a mission. I can't imagine a firewall would block you from certain missions once you're already logged into the game. And we all play several hours a week, this is only the second time I recall something like this happening to him.
This has also happened before on an ITF to him and to someone else I play with (at different times). Completely locked out of one mission but once the mission is over, they're able to zone into the next one.
It doesn't make sense but the fact that I was able to login as him and zone in fine seems to mean it is router, IP or ISP specific.
Messed up map in the Pigg files, perhaps?

This is starting to sound more likely. That its a client issue not a network issue.|

I don't know how reliable 'Verify Files' is but you might want to try it.

This is a weird problem. Last mission of a Barracuda and my friend wasn't able to zone into the mission. He tried re-logigng multiple times and if he waited long enough it would show him the inside of the map and it would say disconnected from mapserver (or something to that effect). The others in the mission never saw him as zoned in.
He tried from both his desktop and his laptop, he also did a flushdns just in case.
The weird thing is that I was able to login as his stuck toon and actually zone into the mision. After I was successful with it he tried again and again couldn't zone into the mission.
I ended up playing his toon and mine on the last mission of the Barracuda but I'd think that if he wasn't able to login I shouldn't have been able to either.
Is there anything anyone's aware of that's tied to an ISP or an IP address? He has FIOS and I have Comcast if that's at all important.
Thanks and regards,
Fitz
