Okay, now I'm totally confused. To troubleshoot I had turned off my antivirus, disabled Proxomitron, disconnected MSIE from the proxy that points to Proxomitron, and so forth. Was able to log in. So one by one I put all those settings back until only Proxomitron remained. I assumed that had been my problem.

Then for the heck of it, I re-enabled it. And I'm still able to log on! So while I'm relieved because my problem seems to have resolved itself (somehow) I'm very uncomfortable as to how it happened. My settings are now just like they were when I couldn't connect, but now I can connect.

I'm really confused. Sorry for starting a thread hoping to fix my problem when now it seems like the problem's disappeared entirely on its own without any help from me.

It could have been many thing that caused your problems.... bad connection, server down, slow internet etc. or just plain old LAG!!!

So i wouldn't worry about what caused it.... unless it happens again.

What kind of internet speed and stability do you have? If the Ubi servers have been down, I guess you could have experienced the sort of problems you have described.

I have cable with about 15 MBps download and over 2 MBps upload. It's never been a real problem before. And I was able to get online and log in at the Ubi website while it was giving me grief. But for right now I'm going to follow jwilliams' advice and just be thankful I can play the game now. No use expending energy worrying about a problem that hopefully won't come back.
