On the Account creation I get stuck at the Enter e-mail page with an error saying "Guild Wars was unable to connect to the server due to a network or server error. You may be experiencing internt routing issues. If this problem persists, please visit the Guild Wars Support website. (Err=5)" I have Win XP Home, I am on a router, but have no touble with other games like City of Heroes. Any advice?

That sucks. I hope you get that fixed soon. In the mean time, off to Sir Tydus I go.

I think I found the solution, I just have to try it.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...light=firewall

"Okay, I finally resolved it. The second router had Port Triggering on for Port 6112 labeled as starcraft as a default setting. So basically when i tried to forward port 6112 it wouldn't work because the triggering was on. So i just disabled the port triggering and it works. WOOT! so happy i dont have to miss the beta weekend event"

I will let you know if it works... I think it is a Netgear issue.
