For some reason for the last 2-3 days I have been unable to see any of the Ysgard servers (or Tairis). They do not appear in Gamespy and I can't direct connect or even simply ping the server.
I can see and connect to Avlis and Arkaz servers without problems.
Has anyone encountered a problem like this before and have thoughts on a solution?

totally weird connection problem
still happens sporadically to me,too,but rarely for that long.i've used verandis' solution,and sometimes the connections reappear almost immediately when i cancel and return,or even log and then return.hope this helps.
If the router you use was changed out for another, or someone was messing with the settings of your firewall, that could be the cause. I do know from past experience that certain ports have to be open in order to see all the servers.
Taking a peek to make sure the previously-mentioned ports are opened is a step in the right direction, or at least it is if the problem still exists.If you are trying to play through a firewall of some sort, here is some information for you to help you get connected. Neverwinter Nights uses UDP, not TCP for its connections. If you think that your firewall is preventing you from connecting to the game servers, please make sure that the following ports are open:
* Ports 5120 through 5300
* Port 6500
* Port 6667
* Port 27900
* Port 28900
In addition to opening the ports listed above, you may need to allow incoming connections on the port you are running your server on (5121 by default) and forward those connections to the computer running the server.
Having had a chat with my ISP (talktalk) they claim they are aware of the problem which has been ongoing for several days and prevents people connecting to various servers in the US and UK. They assured me it's not a problem at my end or at the server end, but definately their fault and they have engineers working to fix it.
I think several of you know my opinion of current opinion of my ISP so I am not going to rant about them here.
I will be back in Ysgard and pwning people eventually.
