Could not locate server

[Dyne]

The server is up, my friends are playing, but I am not! I tried launching from the website and from the downloadable Java file. Both are giving me "Could not locate server" ID and Password are fine, I was playing just fine last night. Any ideas?

Edit: Just cleared all of my Temp Files, cookies, etc, still no dice.

Edit 2: Cleared my Java cache, not sure if that helped or harmed, but it forced me to re-download everything as I had hoped and it still isn't connecting.

The error message means, more specifically, that the DNS name of the server couldn't be resolved into an IP address. I've verified that the DNS servers work, so it is hard to imagine that it would be a problem on this side. It is likewise hard to imagine any client bug that would erroneously give that message. That leaves pretty much only the possibility of DNS errors at your end. I can think of three reasons how that could happen:

1. Your machine has invalid DNS settings. Seeing how you can access the forums, that seems unlikely.
2. Java itself may have separate DNS settings that have become borked somehow. Maybe it has got the idea of trying to use a proxy server or something? Please check your Java network settings against oddities.
3. Your ISP's caching DNS servers are acting up. In that case, the problem should subside after the cache entry has expire, but since both the positive and negative TTL of seatribe.se is 3600 seconds, that should already have happened.

Other than that, I can't really think of anything.

I just got home and I'm still unable to connect. :-\ I don't know what to do to fix this issue, nor do I know how to tinker with Java settings.

Any ideas? It seems to work on and off. Sometimes I get in, othertimes I dont.
