Try restarting your computer for one. If that doesn't work, try reselecting your server USEast or w/e. If that doesn't work, try other servers.

Try those steps, and if you're still having problems I'll try to help you more.

Try pinging your IP address. See if your ISP is the problem.

Contact your ISP, because it might be your modem that's the problem.

That could still be the problem, though. Happened to me once before. My upstairs computer worked, but mine didn't.

Oh, no, it is still here. I called my ISP, and there was a problem with my modem, and they fixed it.

 

[icastbigspells]

Call your cable company, if everything is ok on that end it could be your card.

You can get them free (some deals at Circuit City) although they may not be the best.
