no ping??

Anyone on the east coast having trouble logging on?? This is what I get than it kicks me back to the log in page..

yep I get the no ping indicator as reflected in your post.  However, I get logged on after a momentary lag.  When I check my internet connect  (Host Variances  etc) I have solid lines.  However, I do believe I have lag problems.

I should add to my earlier reply.  I did not have the problem until I purchased a new computer that has Windows 7 64-bit.  My old Computer was running XP.

I've never had this problem before, I can get into the other arenas just not the one's with no ping. Last night logged on all arena's had ping,I tried to get into lw orange no go just bounced me back to the log in page.I tried blue lw next got in and played a few hours nothing wrong. All good lines on net status..Anyone have any clue  what might be wrong???

A few of things come to mind.

1)  Norton/McAfee (or some other anti-xxxx software) interfering with the game.
2)  A firewall blocking the ports used by those arenas.
3)  There is a resource issue with the computer preventing the timely connection to the populated arenas.
4)  Too many bit errors on the connection to reliably get a connection.

I recall a recent a version of some anti-spyware program interfering with the game.  I cannot remember the name of it though.

Is your ISP taking to blocking ports?  Some do these days.

[007Rusty]

sorry sir I'm computer dumb    how would i ck that?

[Skuzzy]

You would have to call them and ask if they block any TCP/UDP ports.

ok thanks will do just strange they would start doing this all of a sudden .

Also, check the "ahiiterr" folder and make sure there are no zero-length files in it.  If the terrain files are corrupt, I am not sure what might happen.

Just to make sure there is not some kind of corruption causing this, rename the "Aces High" folder and install a fresh copy and try it.
