Can't login with Windlight (login packet)

I can login fine using the current client, but if I try to login with Windlight I get "Unable to connect. Login packet never received by login server." So far, 4 failures at different times, and each time was able to successfully log in with the current release.

I'm behind a firewall, and perhaps that is a factor. When I get the opportunity, I'll try without the firewall.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks!

I have gotten this error several times with the Release candidate, and I was getting it with the Windlight First Look as well. In each case, I was behind an extra firewall layer, and reconfiguring so I was not behind that firewall did allow it to work. I suspect the new web-based Search function is using traffic on a port that many firewalls block by default.

I get this too, its in the issue tracker, its a DNS bug with LL. one they see that there is something wrong, they'll fix it. Hopefully you are using the reg client for now. I hope all this BS gets over with. Maybe there is still grey goo on the system.
