Are you still getting this today?

Well, he killed me last night, so I think the issue is sorted.

You can't ping the SGS servers in general, their firewall seems to block it. Probably to avoid ICMP attacks from disgruntled players ;-)

Yup .. none of them SGS game servers return ICMP packets.

I kept getting thrown off the servers last night TG... it was luck i shot u.. pure luck... hehe.

But like 5 min after that, my connection to the server dropped (but I could still play on int. servers with no issues). I noticed about the 4th time I rejoined the servers (now like 2am), no one else was on the servers, and I had to wait for 8 more other people to join. Then everyone did, and we got into an infantry only fight.

very weird

@TG: what, that there were no tank/apc/chopper whores?

You can ping www.saix.net. That should be close enough shouldn't it?

[rainy]

Not really. The webserver is on a completely different IP range than the game servers. So even if www.saix.net is reachable, doesn't mean the game servers are.
