| I have been playing at a game, TF2005.net (5555) for about two years now. Last week, I suddenly found that I could not connect. I get this message:
--- Connected on Friday, February 10, 2012, 9:37 PM ---
--- Disconnected on Friday, February 10, 2012, 9:37 PM ---
--- Connected for 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds. ---
--- Received 4 lines, sent 0 lines.
--- Output buffer has 17/5000 lines in it (0.3% full).
--- Matched 0 triggers, 0 aliases, and 0 timers fired.
The "Transformers: 2005" server has closed the connection
I was able to connect to it via a web based platform (http://client.pennmush.org/guest/tf2005%7C) that was coded by one of their former Wizards. I spoke with some current wizards, and was told to run a tracert. Here's an edited screen cap of what I got.

I was told by one of the wizards I spoke to that there was an issue between British Columbia and Illinois, but she didn't know how to help. If anyone understands this and can help me, I would be very appreciative. | | Top |

However I note that you are actually getting connected, and then disconnected.
Did you perchance insult one of the admins? That could account for this behaviour. |

| | I was able to connect one day, unable the next, no reason as far as I can tell, nothing changed on my end, and the admins I talked to via the web platform never mentioned a ban or anything. | | Top |

| A couple of things might have happened:
* Your IP address is similar to one that *has* been banned (they might ban a range if someone keeps logging on with slightly different addresses).
* Wherever-you-are might have put in a "game ban". For example, a school or workplace. Connecting via a web-based interface might circumvent that (different connection method). |
