Server keeps timing out Jan 3, 2009 1:04:19 GMT -5

So as you can probably guess, I'm a newbie and I can't seem to get direct connect to work. I have tried the following IPs:

64.129.185.77:5126 (Downloads thread)
69.65.25.114:5121 (Performance Tips thread)

and neither have worked after a number of tries. Am I just so unlucky that I happen to only try to login when the server is down? It seems like it's up and down a lot.

Suggestions?

No. Not unless you got unlucky and kept trying to log in during the downtimes. At the moment we are not hosted on a regular server (which means frequent crashes) but that's scheduled to change tomorrow according to the information given in another thread.

Have you checked your firewall to make sure it's not blocking communication?

Do those IPs look current?

What I'm actually using for direct connect is: baldursgate.servegame.com
