Check you DNS:

Try pinging acss.alleg.net and allsrvbox.alleg.net.

If they point to the IP 213.239.213.106 everything is fine.

If not, try flushing your DNS cache (cmd line: ipconfig -flushdns).

ok acss.alleg.net was pointing to 213.239.213.106 but allsrvbox.alleg.net was pointing to 204.239.213.106

Flushing dns worked and I'm in the lobby now.

Thanks.

I flush and keep getting allsrvbox.alleg.net pointing to 204.239.213.106.

My dns server officially sucks.

The DNS TTL is set to 1 hour, if you ISP DNS ignores that value I can't help.

The only workaround is your hosts file, until the ISP DNS is updated with the new value.

Edit:
Found the problem... :bang:

I can't even get to log in. I have seven u[dates and the launcher crashes when it trys to input them. This may not have to do with this though.

Sadly, it hasn't corrected my ping problem. I sat out the squad game with a 999+ ping the majority of the match. There were a few minutes when it regulated to ~50ms. Did a squad practice on the old server, and a test on Mach3, and had no issues. Must be some switch between me an US1 I guess ;(
