    Hello)
    I had this problem and i’ve tried lots of methods, but nothing worked((

    But i fixed it!

    The problem is that something happened with your routes, because of viruses ofc)
    SO!
    Open cmd window in Start Menu, then type ‘route -f’ (without quotes and with Space) there and press Enter. Then reboot your PC and start your game)
    It must be fixed)

    Hey guys i found out how to fix this no joke!!!! I’ve been trying for days but i accidentaly fixed it. This is probably for windows 7. Go to maplestory folder then Hshield folder then find HSUpdate. Run HSUpdate as admin and let it run through. Then start maple from the website again it should not have error anymore!!!. Because error says its update prob and i solved alot of problems from running things as admin. So i found the hsupdate then run as admin and it works now!!!:::DDDDDD
    hopefully it solves all your guys’s problems

    02/05/2010 at 9:10 am

    I got simple solution to this problem…
    this problem usually happen when we got Modzilla Firefox n IE..
    maple will follow IE connection so if u set IE as offline so it goes to maple as well..

    as solution u open IE n connect it to the internet..maybe when u open IE it will said ur browser work in offline mode..simply go to other website example go to yahoo.com n IE will ask u to stay offline or connect..press connect n wait till IE connect to the website..after that open ur maple n enjoy …
