(Just to point out that i did not discover this reason, i stumbled apon it on the Gunzfactor forums, i am writing on Ijji forums for those who do not use Gunzfactor forums)
Since i am getting this problem too, i am also very unhappy -.-
But for some of us, we may not have to blame ijji or our comp, just our internet provider.
For those that are using Tiscali or Pipex, you may be running on an IPStream. Ime not sure how this thing works but it allows you to download quicker, get pages open quicker but severly affects pings and even connecting to the servers of many online games.
This IPStream thing is most likely the problem of our 'Cannot access server' problem. If you are also getting trouble with other online games. You might want to blame this too.
For anyone on Tiscali or Pipex that are getting this problem, you may need to contact your internet provider to see what you are running on, there are many types (IPStream, Datastream, FUP and others)
If you find out your on IPstream, then you may want to see if you can get your provider to change it.
For those who are on tiscali or pipex and can get on the game (but have insanely high pings) this may also be the cause of your ping. (This Ping problem also applies to other online games).
I hope this has given another reason for that naughty 'Cannot Access Server' Error.
One fix for 'Cannot access server' may be to contact your provider (if on Tiscali or Pipex) and see if you can get it changed to a different form. I would not suggest changing your Provider unless you really need to.
I also have discovered from using my internet providers website that people who use the two providers listed may not be running IPStream but using FUP. FUP is another way of transporting messages through the internet, however, it is also know to cause high pings and stop some online games from working.
If you are wishing to change your internet messaging type (IPSteam, Datasteam, FUP), you will want to contact your provider.
IPStream is better for downloading and a change to a different type may show signs of loss of downloading speed, if you care for downloading and uploading more than gaming, i would suggest to stay as you are!
After a bit more reading, i have found out that Datastream also has the same problems, but they occur less, meaning that anyone getting the problem and that are using datastream may be able to get into Gunz during the beginning and ending of peak times but may get problems during the middle of the peak times.
I have also found another form of internet, there are currently 4 that i have found.
IpSteam : Known to Cause problems (very bad connections)
DataStream : Known to Cause problems (less frequent)
FUP : Known to Cause problems (very bad connections)
LLU : Unknown at the moment, ill see what i can dig up
There have been rumours that Bulldog uses some of these connections, however, many of their customers do not find problems with their service.
Please Help Here: Anyone that knows anything about any internet providers that use these connections or anything about the connections themselves... Please Post here, this thread is here to give some members a reason for why their Gunz may not work. Hopefully, we will find a way to get rid of this error for good!
