After updating to 1.69 I can no longer see EfU on gamespy. The IP address just registers 'offline' on my favorites list, and when I look under PW Story it never appears.

Other servers such as CoA and Narfell appear and I can connect just fine. Prior to the update I was getting a strange effect where efu wouldn't appear on the favorites until about 5 seconds after the list was populated. Not sure if that's related.

Suggestions?

Vista?

Is your connection bad when you finally get on to the EFU server?

Windows XP

My connection is typically fine when on EfU. Something like 3-5 seconds to load areas.

Also I have the original game + diamond for the expansions. This was never an issue before though.

Can you direct connect to efu.us.to or 64.251.24.107?

If not, try opening up your command prompt and typing tracert efu.us.to or optionally tracert 64.251.24.107. I'm not sure if the EfU server has a static IP, so the numeric version might change over time. efu.us.to should work just fine though.

Thanks Dopson, that was helpful.

Turned out to be a problem with my ISP. In fact a number of IPs (including many websites) weren't coming through, and the EfU server was one of them.

Now it's resolved.
