Having trouble logging into account

Every time I type in my user name and password a message comes up saying " The game client was unable to connect to the login server. This may be due to a local network issue such as a firewall block, or may be because the login server is down for maintenance"

I have turned off all my firewalls and checked the server status and it says all servers are up. It kicked me off this morning around 5:15. So whats going on here?

Try giving your machine a good stiff reboot.
Then open up a command prompt and type
Code:
/ipconfig flushdns
.
Then try starting up again.

Another possibility is that you've got some sort of malware issue and something's set itself up as a proxy.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

And how would I go about removing this proxy? The command prompt didn't help.

Well, if it is malware, then you need a malware remover. Do you ever run virus checks?
