Connecting to Arenanet
Tito Bad Boy Ortiz
Ok so I just re installed windows vista ultimate and when i try installing gw from a disc (doesn't matter which version) the installation screen comes up and just says "Connecting to Arenanet" and the bar is stuck just under the R. I have turned off my firewall and this still happens so i really dont know what going on. Help is much appreciated.

I have the same problem, what I do is I copy my .dat file from the installed folder, to lets say the desktop, then I uninstall GW via the control panel, then I reinstall GW but as soon as it gets to the part of the install where it starts downloading files to a new .dat, I close it, copy the .dat from the desktop, and past it back into the gw folder, overwriting the .dat there which should be like 1kb or a little bigger.

Are you using NOD32? It's notorious for blocking GW even when turned off/deactivated.

Nah im not using NOD 32, thing is i cant even install gw atm it just gets stuck on the grey install screen.

Is it by any chance Norton firewall? It disables things even when switched off ._.

I dont have no firewall installed, just the windows one which i have turned off.

Strange. Maybe your disk(s) is/are faulty.
Which disks are you using to Install?

Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall, they usually work fine. They did on my last version of windows.

It may be a router-related problem.
Make sure that TCP ports 80 and 6112 are open. If you are using a Netgear router, see this - http://help.plaync.com/cgi-bin/playn...p?p_faqid=2607
