| It may be that you simply cannot access the address the server is
| located at.
| Have you flushed dns?
|
| Have you contacted tech support?
| If the last time you were on was when a server crashed, there may be
| something wrong with your account.

I'm going to try copying the COH TEST files over my live server files
and seeing if that fixes it (cannot find my original install disks).
I'm beginning to ponder that maybe I got hit by the "Serious COH bug"
listed on May 11th by Marcel Beaudoin. I was in a mission then the FREEDOM
server crashed. Since FREEDOM was down for quite a few hours I went back to
playing NEVERWINTER NIGHTS for awhile. I didn't try logging back in for a
few days after that. When I did I was getting the LOGON SERVERS UNAVAILABLE
problem on the main servers, but not on COH TEST.
I'll report back in later, but I also figure if I am a victim of that
bug I should check my account to see if that is working right too (though I
assume that I would get a different error message in that case).

From CuppaJo:
Briefly, don't zone when defeated, or you won't be able to log in with that
character again. Always use "Go to Hospital" or Revive/Rez before you zone.
