I was looking forward to playing a little City of Heroes when Rob called this afternoon - however my excitement soon turned into frustration.
For some reason my laptop didn't want to connect to the City of Heroes game or their website - wierd?. My internet connection was working just fine for everything else, except City of Heroes. As for my sidekick, his game, login, and website seemed to be functioning just perfectly.
The game was put on hold until I could figure things out. I proceed to spend the remainder of my afternoon (4 hours to be exact) trying to figure out the problem.
There were a few phone calls to the computer experts - Brennan & Kevin - and I even stumped them. Nobody could figure it out.
Nearing the end of the afternoon, I seemed to isolate the issue to our Linksys router. The only reason being that when I unplugged the router, and connected the laptop directly to our shaw modem everything seemed to work peachy keen. Huh - what?? Ya, I know - doesn't make too much sense.
By 6:30 I gave up and retired to the hot tub for some de-stressing - didn't work.
Around 7:30 I decided to give it another try on the laptop - what the hell, hey. Of course, miraculously it work! Imagine that. I guess that is technology for you.
We will see if it happens again. And I won't be a happy camper if it does!

Should have bought a mac. ;-) I guess you'd be out of luck for CoH that way. Chicken/egg problem unfortunately.
Hopefully the problem will not happen again.
Their support team seems to respond in a timely fashion, however I don't know how helpful they are.
