I am getting this every time i try to log in at work. As far as i know nothing has really changed here at work. I had to reinstall WoW yesterday so i am not sure if that has anything to do with it. I have tried all the tips Blizzard suggested that i could do. Does anyone have any input that they might be able to throw my way.

It's probably because your name is Gronthor.

So what is with the Marine emblem? Are you a current jarhead or past jarhead?

Not sure if you fixed your problem, but it sounds like a port problem. Obviously, if you fixed the problem you can ignore me :)

If not.. next time you're at work, go to http://www.seemyport.com . This site will let you see if the ports are opened on your network. You can also use http://www.utorrent.com/testport?port=XXXX , just change XXXX with the port number. These sites will let you know if the port isn't open, but just because they are not opened does not mean they are blocked. A lot of that depends on the firewall/router settings on the server whether they only allow connections from allowed ports.

WoW uses 1119 TCP and 3724 TCP for gameplay, 3724 UDP for in-game voice chat, and 6112 TCP 6881-6999 TCP for blizzard downloader. Check those ports.. you'll know whether or not thats the issue.

I can see that being that you were a jarhead. I am amazed by how fast Marines break stuff.
