and It still shows the authentication server as OFFLINE

First of all, this is a forum, not a chat room. Your multiple posts in a row with hour-by-hour updates does nothing except piss people off. Don't expect a reply instantly, or even in an hour (or ever, if you keep it up). I've deleted your most egregious disregard of etiquette.
If you have further *useful* information to add to a post, there's an edit button. Use it.
No, I don't believe you when you say you've fixed it. Every person that's ever had a problem getting connectivity to any of the master server systems has had a firewall problem.
If you want "instant" support and feedback, connect to the IRC channel (link at the bottom of each page on the board). Be aware that there many be a several-hour delay between your question, and a reply -- joining, asking a question, and leaving after 5 minutes will also piss people off.

Now, on to your problem: It's a firewall. See the FAQ: http://www.tribesnext.com/forum/index.php?topic=464.0 regarding the account server specifically, and http://www.tribesnext.com/forum/index.php?topic=469.0 for other solutions to firewall generated problems.
