Weird Disconnect issue tonight
Quote:
In general, this sort of thing is an ISP level problem. A regional router is down, one of your ISP's peering agreements has gotten misconfigured, someone is attempting a DDoS and the fallout is choking other traffic, fiber backbone got cut with a backhoe, etc.
I am getting randomly disconnected from COH tonight. When it happens I cannot access the COH website but other games work just fine like World of Warcraft and so does visiting other websites. I did notice though I cannot access the Facebook website during this either but I can access myspace.

If your ISP doesn't block it, the traceroute (tracert in Windows) command is your best troubleshooting tool, although using it well takes some practice. Trace routes to various reachable and non-reachable sites, and try and identify the common factors on the non-reachable ones.
There's also some chance you've been infected with some sort of virus or malware. In their efforts to redirect you to corrupt sites and prevent you from visiting anti-virus sites, they can screw up your ability to use the Internet properly. It's probably a good idea to run a full scan with a different product than you usually use, such as Malwarebytes and CCleaner.
If you're less technically inclined but have time to spare, you can try calling your ISP's technical support. Have a list of places you can't reach, preferably with their exact names if not IP addresses. Be polite, but very specific that you can get *most* places, but not *these* places.

CoH Helper * HijackThis
I have COX and I am located in Arizona. I am getting randomly disconnected from COH tonight. When it happens I cannot access the COH website but other games work just fine like World of Warcraft and so does visiting other websites. I did notice though I cannot access the Facebook website during this either but I can access myspace.
Anyone have a clue what might be going on?
