game doesn't open -_-

whenever i try to connect, i get We are unable to connect to the login server due to a server check, a firewall block or other network issues. Please check the Maplestory homepage for ongoing server checks as well as your firewall settings.

so i changed my firewall setting for an exception for maplelegends and the game worked well until i got disconnected.. and ever since, only way i can connect is either changing my ip but then when i close it.. it doesn't work again for that ip -_-

also, i cant go to maplelegends main page without having to change my ip.

something wrong or against my ip address? o.o

thanks.

Uhm...
thats really weird.
thats one of the first problem ive ever seen try following TehOldNite's demonstration and.
uhmm.. maybe the server was down atm

Thats happened before, and I think its when the server is down. Or its only open to GM's because its going through a server check? Like it says

naw.. thats not the reason. i know for sure that the server isn't down when i try to open it. right now my ip "masking" thing isn't working so i can't open maplelengends lol. im guessing my network DOES have some kind of firewall or something but i dont know how to disable it.
i disabled the firewall on my COMPUTER but network-wise... i need some help lol.
is this some kind of port fowarding that i have to work on? i'm running wireless so im not sure that i can do that either -_-;
thanks for the thoughts guys


edit.
okay heres what i did. i went to windows firewall and turned it off.. then i went to my symantecs and turned that off too. however, it still doesn't work......
so i'm guessing its my router thats being retarded and i have to port-forward but i dont know the port numbers.. anyone know?

Ask Rykel for the help, he might know.

Yeah im having this problem as well. I just went to the iron boar land and then i d/ced after hitting 2 or 3 iron boars

Joey that was probably when the server was in edit
