Today I crashed and I rebooted and could not reconnect to the Master Server. It is not a firewall problem nor hardware here on my end I dont think.. This just happened a few minutes ago.. Please help.

It's been doing this a lot lately. Don't worry about it and carry on as per usual.

If you're connecting through gamespy and it won't bring up all the rooms, just direct connect or use your history instead

When I start NWN I click Multipalyer and I log in under Ghostgurl but it now says I cannot connect to the master server. I cannot direct connect ethier. =(

Master Server is nothing to do with us; it's the Gamespy authentication server. Direct Connecting using some external program or the additions to a shortcut on your desktop you can make (both of which can be found with Google) will bypass it and allow you to connect.

Could you elaborate a bit more on those last suggestions, for those of us tech-inept?

1: Copy or make a new shortcut to nwmain.exe
2: Right click the shortcut, and select Properties
3: In the Target box add "+connect nwn.ysgard.org:5123 +password thepassword" (without the quotes)

That will launch the game and connect to Hala when used. 5124 will connect to Ysgard. Enter the actual password where 'thepassword' is.
