Recently, as in only within the past few days, I've been unable to log into the game.

When I put my user name/password into the login screen, I get two nominally different errors: "Failed to connect to the server."
Previously I had only gotten this error when I tried to log in while maintenance was being performed, but after having problems logging in for almost a week, I know something else is up. I'm logging in from the same connection as before, but neither wired nor wireless connections work. I can't login from the local installation on my computer or the "Play" link on the website.

I WAS able to log on once on Saturday, but only after a computer reboot. After I played and logged out, any attempts to log back in were met with the same error. I have since tried to reboot again, but that has failed to alleviate the problem.

Any help is appreciated. I'm running Windows 7 Home x64 if that helps.

Is anyone else having this problem, and what can be done to fix it?

Are you using a WRT54G series

Are you using a WRT54G series router?

College Campus Internet and interesting discovery

I'm connecting from the dorm network of a college campus, so I have no direct access to the router or modem; however, to my knowledge the routers have not changed within the past week and I have been able to play in the past months without this problem

EDIT: Additionally, I discovered that the process is the same no matter what I enter in the Username and Password fields. I never see an error for wrong password or nonexistent user, only the same one for failure to connect to server over and over again...

ADDITIONAL EDIT/SOLUTION: It appears that when I try to connect to the slower of my school's wireless connections, I can log in fine. It appears to only be an issue on the faster wireless connection. But I have no recollection of that ever being an issue before. For the time being, this other connection is fast enough to play on and I will consider this a nonissue until it worsens..

It being a campus network,

It being a campus network, theres no telling what they do to it unless you know someone who works on it. If you start hearing about cease and desist orders or law suits, that might be related to why it only affects the "fast" one.
