 So I haven't been able to log on to FT or PS for the past two days (even as an observer, it only gets as far as 'connecting', and in all other areas my internet works fine).  I have tried resetting the modem/router as well as my comp, resetting my firewall (McAfee), making sure the date on my comp is correct and so on....I also tried using a different wireless network and that didn't work as well, so I am lost.  I emailed PS but who knows how long it will take them to help me. 

The last thing I tried was uninstalling and reinstalling the PS hardware, but of course nothing.  At this point I'm restraining myself from playin on UB as it is the only site that is working for me at the moment.  If someone can get me back online at PS I will ship at least $10, maybe more if the solution is complicated, but I doubt it is.  Help?

Whether or not you are the administrator is not going to be the issue (especially all of a sudden). And obviously you've tried rebooting the computer? Is it just hung like its trying to log in but doing nothing? If so try unhooking everything. Log off your computer, power down your router and modem as well as unplugging them. Then after a few minutes bring your modem up, then your router then your computer. If nothing still... uninstall PS again. Delete all the PS files from your drive. Then download again.

Sounds like a firewall issue. You uninstalled McAfee for sure right? Also, are you and your sister networked? If so and her machine is for sure the administrator of the network then hers could be blocking it. Maybe try uninstalling McAfee on her machine if this is the case.

 what i would do is RESTORE your computer to a earlier date. Its in the control panel area. It restores ur computer to a date that u request.."when u could log on" thats what i would do.

Well if your sister did something on her computer or installed some kind of shareware etc it may be effecting it. That is if you guys are networked. Maybe try hooking your computer directly to the internet instead of networking.

 restore did nothing...this is really ridiculous...also my sister isn't living here right now so she hasn't fucked with it at all before or since it stopped working...and like i said the pstars on her comp has the same problem

Is the date on your computer right...a couple months ago i couldnt log into stars for a few days and i saw my computer said Jan 6, 2038.  I changed it to the current date and it worked.

Maybe your service provider has it blocked?

8nt, would they start blocking it suddenly? this sounds like a pretty good explanation to me, but then why would UB not be blocked?
