WoW connection
Hi there, 1st post 
I've got immersed in EVE over the holidays and hadn't really noticed that I've not been able to connect to World of Warcraft for a while now (which may be a good thing in some ways, but anyway...) I wondered if anyone here could suggest something I've not tried. Here's a copy of the ticket I posted to MetroNet today (apologies for the wall of text):
----
I'm a subscriber to World of Warcraft, and am currently having trouble connecting.
When starting up the game, I get through the accountname and password authentication, a message displaying "Success!" arrives, but this no longer changes to show my selected server (or Realm in wow-speak).
I ran a Traceroute to eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com and the results were:
traceroute: Warning: eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com has multiple addresses; using 80.239.180.115

Do you know of any ISP reason why I'm having trouble connecting? I had rules in my router firewall forwarding traffic on the relevant ports and have tried to connect with these both enabled and disabled. My local machine's IP matches up correctly with the one in the rules. I've run successfully with this setup for well over two years (over one year with Metronet).
I play another online game (EVE Online) and have no problems connecting there.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

It's got me stumped so far >.<
Thanks, hopefully, and happy new year

It's been happening a while, I was just playing EVE instead and couldn't be arsed getting WoW working
I had a funny prob integrating a new network hard drive too (Lacie tech support rocks - average of 4 DAYS to send a monosyllabic answer to each bit of a conversation), which involved re-doing the whole network's IP ranges, so to fix the WoW issue I had to spend a fair bit of time making sure I hadn't ballsed it up myself (I'm 99.999% sure I haven't, and the WoW issue first happened a couple of weeks before the network changes).
I'm kinda stumped atm. And I have a funny feeling I logged off last with over 1000g of enchant mats in my inbox. Oops.
Thanks for the speedy reply
