Hey everyone,
I'm new here - and pretty new to Go, but I am really enjoying getting into it. I've been playing online on the IGS server through a variety of clients, including TengenGo for iPad, Pandanet-Tetsuki for my iPhone, and SmartGo and the free basic Pandanet client for my windows PC.
Anyway, I have not experienced any connection problems up until last night, but since then, and especially today, I have stretches of several hours where I just cannot connect to the IGS server using my PC. I try over and over again, I reset my network adapter, I restart the client I'm using to access the server, I check and recheck my server connection settings... and somehow I inexplicably fail to connect over and over again.
Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone out there know how I can resolve it? Because I really would like to play, and especially to observe.. I love being able to watch the games of low kyu through high dan ranking players, I always learn a lot.
SmartGo has a huge library of famous pro games, but it isn't the same as watching live and being able to listen to other observers comment.
Anyway, Please Help!
Thanks,
QuietMonolith

Try playing on Tygem or WBaduk if IGS is down. And download PandaTetsuki for iPad - it looks great and is muuuuch better than TengenGo which is buggy and looks abandoned by developer

Re: Problems with connection to the IGS server?
I played on it a few times this lat week with no problems. Try contacting one of their admins through the website. They are very responsive.rondoc2 wrote:I have been using pandanet and have been ok with no loss of connection until last week and since then i cannot play a game without connection problems.
