Problem for Aussie gamers accessing ENworld

[Olaf the Stout]

Is it still working for you, Olaf? I tried it when I got home last night, and it was more of the same old time-out...

It's still working for me. What ISP are you with?

Optus. Maybe the site was having a glitch when I tried it, or perhaps the fix hasn't propagated as far down the line as me yet (I'm in Melbourne). I'll give it another go tonight. Hopefully it'll come right before I finish work for the year and lose enworld access over my break!

That's strange considering I'm with Optus too.

There still is the proxy server option. I went that way when I couldn't get through from home. You can get proxy servers from this site.

It might take a couple of goes but eventually you should find one that works for EN World. I found the ones based in the US to be the best. You may also find that the proxy stops working after a few days. If it does just go back to the site I listed above and try again.

Frustrating I know but I found it to be the best workaround. It's still a lot better than no access at all. Just make sure you sort it out before you go on Christmas holidays. Otherwise you won't be able to read this post!

Send me an e-mail if you're not sure how to set the proxy server up.

It's working now!

(Mind you, the first reaction I had when the site loaded was 'awesome, I can't wait to go into work so I can post in Meta that I can connect again!' Yes, it's been a LONG time...)

So it is working for you without the use of a proxy server?

Yep, no proxy server required. Whatever the problem was, someone, somewhere must have fixed it.

Glad to see that it's finally working for you too. Hopefully that means that EN World is accessible to everyone around the world again.

has this given anyone connection problems?

Edit: Oh, d'oh, i confused this thread for the one where people in Asia were having connection problems... or did i imagine that thread?

I can confirm that this problem is affecting people using Unwired.

No effect here in Adelaide, Australia thankfully.
