Ok I'm on a trip to lousiana this week so fortunately I missed the grid downtime. Except right now I can't log in.

Everytime I try to log in it gets to the waiting for region handshake and then I get an error message.

"Unable to Connect. Login packet never received by login server

Please try again in a few minutes, or click help for advice and a link to the system status web page."

Now the last time I had trouble logging in from a hotel it was some kind of trouble with the way the ports were configured for their firewall. Is this something similiar and if so how do I fix it?

Anyone out there? Fired off an email to technical support but I doubt I'll receive a reply before I'm back home in two days, and I kind of can't talk to people on a phone.
