Windows 7: Cannot connect to certain game servers anymore.

Hi everyone,

I play UT3 and I cannot connect to a couple of my favorite servers anymore. Everything was fine for 4 years but now when I try to connect to them the connection fails.

One server is a friends and is here in the city I live in. Great ping!

The other is an official Epic server.

I have asked other players and they have no issues connecting to either server and I see people playing there but I cannot join.

One peculiarity is that after I try to connect to either server their status changes to 'offline'.

Any thought or comments would be greatly appreciated. I have a couple of weeks off work and would like to get some gaming in.
