That is...weird. If you continue to have problems you should probably delete the stuff you added to the hosts file. Apart from that I am pretty much out of ideas. Sorry.
I have the exact same problem. Played just fine this morning and now I get g99 and 94%. What the heck is happening?
Always keep in mind that next time you cannot connect you probably need to remove those lines. But I am pleased that I could help you.
HI,Suffering exact same problem here. The SOE has changed to daybreak. Could you provide the new ip address? I have googled it for all day....
