We can't connect either since Saturday the 25th getting same issue can't connect to server. I thought it might be the connection or the firewall to the computer but seems to be server issue on the website that is causing the problem or the fact that so many players are on at the same time. Please help?

Hi have heard you can't get on wizard101.This may be due to low internet access,and some firewall permission.

When this happened to me i was devastated too but i got past it eventually.

What i did was:

1. Furiously cut my computer on and off (lol )

2. Reinstalled W101

Solution 2 worked for me and i continued through the game with out a problem.

Don't worry when your reinstall, none of your data or chars will be erased but you will have to load all the areas over again and your gear will have to load.

i too have recieved "error 126". I was able to play 2 days after the installed celestia into the real game then error 126 shows up again. Before that i was not able to play for 3 weeks kept getting error 126. I pay for a family of 3. We each have our own pc (desktop) and all 3 have same error message. The "senior wizards" claim its our computers but i doubt it. Any answers or solution would help.

If all else fails, try uninstalling the program and reinstalling it.

Also try running your virus software to ensure you don't have any trojans or viruses in your system that might be affecting connections or ports.

As we keep telling you, your issues are directly related the computer you are using.

To properly assess why you are seeing this we need more information from you:

Please send an email to: support@wizard101.com.

Please send us:
->the account name
->the character name affected
->as much information about what you encountered as you can
->where possible, your DxDiag file (see below)

NEVER send us:
->your password
->your credit card information
The more information you give up front, the faster your ticket can be resolved.

What is a DxDiag?
A DxDiag is a utility designed to display the specifications of the user's hardware, as well as to test DirectX software, including sound and video. If you are asked for this information in an email, it helps the support group relate your gaming issue to your personal computer.

To create a dxdiag.txt just go to Start -> Run (or Search in Vista) and enter dxdiag and click OK. Once the program has run its course, click "Save all Information" and it will output a txt file that you can attach to your email.

Tickets can take up to 48 hours to receive a response and duplicate tickets can slow the whole process down.

Yep, getting the same problem as most in here. I can connect to all my other characters except for my main. "Cannot connect to server" Really? Then why does my others connect fine?
1) It's not my net connection for my kids play on the laptops at the same time just fine.
2) I've reinstalled for the simple fact of testing. Even cleaned out the registry strings and any mention of Wizard101 or KI. Same issue.
3) Logged in from work, that has different ISP and a faster connection. Same issue.
4) Tested with 7 different systems. Same issue.

So. Conclusion. KI needs to fix this problem for it's no doubt theirs to repair. Any one in KI wish to give us paying and nonpaying players a clue? A little information goes a long way to ease tension with an already angry crowd of players.

I have not been able to connect since Sunday evening. Wondering if anyone else has the issue. I'm getting Error #107, and have tried all of the recommendations. I can connect to the internet and other games just fine (using my FIOS router). I have emailed support (twice) but not a response yet.

Interestingly...if I disconnect from my FIOS router and instead connect via my broadband aircard, I CAN connect. But I don't want to use those minutes when I shouldn't have to. This different way of accessing means a different IP address - could my IP address be blocked?

Professor Greyrose, I think it is a bit too much of a coincidence that, after one update, tons of people suddenly can't play.

I too experience these issues at times, when I log off, for me there is about a 30% chance I'm gonna crash. I can play fine otherwise, though.

I've had this happen for days now. It's not my computer or server. I am playing in Zafaria and then I get a disconnect. Sometimes it connects back on and other times, it doesn't. The worst part is when you're in a battle and it disconnects or in a dungeon and have to start over.

I can imagine how many more people are playing Wizard now than ever before, and with a new world, it's suddenly chaotic and full. So it's not far-fetched to think that KingsIsle servers are just not able to handle too much of a load at once, is it?
