connection timeout to only ladder servers

Hey, I've had my connection time out from all the ladder servers twice in the last few minutes.

My internet is fine, firefox still works, all other servers still work.

I can't rejoin ladder servers (they only appear as IP address when I click on friends to join), and they do not appear in the game server list.

Is there any reason why I would only lose connection to a specific set of servers? Nobody else lost connection.

I have this same problem on my current connection. I'm mostly fine on other servers, but something about ladder servers makes me spike like a mofo.

Lag spikes and inability to connect are likely different issues.

Not being able to connect sounds like someone's DNS sever is at fault (assuming the ladder wasn't just down for a while) -- either elixir's or ladder's. Do you, by any chance, have a really ****ty ISP, elixir? It'll probably resolve itself (DNS joke!) within 12 hours, either way.

Yea mine can be shaky at times, it's just weird that it only affects one group of servers and not the rest of my entire Internet, lol.
