[Shockaz]

Hello everyone,
I play in this server from 3 years. Today when i was playing, the server disconnected me. When I try to connect it says "Unable to connect". I re-install wow, delete wtf file, chache. I saw other post down like mine. I get other realmilst file from my friends. I make everything. And also i can't connect. Please help!

THIS is the correct realmlist. Do you use the already installed version or do you install it yourself? Are you sure that it is exactly 2.4.3 version which supports are server? If you have Windows 7 do you overwrite the original realmlist properly? Usually you have to take it out and simply paste the correct one because of all those admin restrictions and stuff... You can also try to turn off your firewall and see if it changes anything.

Yes, I use your realmlist. I use already installed version 2.4.3 enUs. I am with Windows XP and I dont use my windows firewall, my antivirus is stopped. BTW, my internet address type is DHCP. I'm from Bulgaria.

Did you extract the game?

[Shockaz]

Yes, of course :D Everything is perfect. All day I read in forums and etc. I was making everything but i cant connect ...

Are you able to connect to other servers?

Open command prompt and type: ping connect.smolderforge.com

Then press Enter. What IP address do you see being returned?

I am with Windows XP.

I personally advise you to move to Windows 8.1. Not even Windows 7, everyone who says Windows 8.1 is bad either they haven't deeply try it or they are 40+ years old.

I dont use my windows firewall, my antivirus is stopped.

That's really wrong. Turn your antivirus on, it's not related to your problem. Really rarely, antiviruses affect these kind of stuff, but Firewall is OK to be off if you're at home/business but it's dangerous in public.

Thank you all for the help! I dont know why, but when I make what Hen told me to do, the game started. :)
