FYI - They made another update today, so the texture pack will not work.... and you definitely cannot connect to the server with them on at this time.
....it's beta.
How do I get on to your sever O
The login servers are pretty wacked out right now.
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.
Ya, yesterday was a crappy afternoon for the login server. My server does require authentication, so even once you can get past the client login, you still have to re authenticate against mine. We were having issues there last night also, but found that if you kept trying (2-5 times) it would eventually accept the connection.
And the IP:Port info is available in the private forums. Once you login to the client, just hit multiplayer and plug that in.
I tried about 20 times last night to get on, but kept getting rejected for various reasons.
I'll give it another shot tonight. Their authentication server scheme is in need of an overhaul IMO.
