ERROR: Unable to connect to log-in server

I was just on DrakoMS about an hour ago. logged off and then just tried to get back on, when this error pops up.

Code:

We are unable to connect to the login server due to a server check, a firewall block or other network issues.

Please check the MapleStory homepage for ongoing server checks as well as your firewall settings.

I tried connecting a few more times. Checked my connection, turned off windows firewall (which is always on when I have previously played), and checked the server status. I did some looking around on google, to find no solution to my problem.

Any suggestions?

wait. the server is down.

Yes, it seems the site is now down as well. Odd. I checked the status on the site about 10 minutes ago, and it said it was up with 3 people online.

cause it was up ten minutes ago.

So you weren't/aren't getting this error at all?

Either way, the site is back up. Server is Offline according to the site now as well

Sadness.

The server is up, however I'm getting the same error still. 4 people online.

need the new client. read the website!

New client? I downloaded the client yesterday. D:

he switched hosts today.
new client :/
AND the host seems to like shutting us down randomly ^.-

Ah. Well that solves my problem. But what a horrible host. Why was the switch?
