    Not sure this is what solved it for me , but after alot trying to log in and it not worked,, i tried these 2 commands to clear cache for DNS server ..
    first close all terminal windows ,, the windows pop up when u try log in toon ..
    then go to aplications, - tools - and open the terminal
    then type this
    --> sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
    it will ask ur pasword ..
    then also type this !!
    --> sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder


    then ,, i tried log on still did not work, but .. after 5 minutes, no reboot or anything needed, i could log on ..
    did these commands do anything or not really, not sure,, but after a lil while i did, and few tries more , it did work

    for another player , that tried em as well, it did work right after .. 1 minute ..

    worth a try ..
