try to + base or try + -ing ....
Which is affirmation is more correctly?
I try to connect to the servers but it's unreachable.
I try connecting to the servers but it's unreachable.

Either sentence is okay. I recommend studying how English changes depending on whether you are talking about one object or many objects. That is a far more common problem for people learning English.
One object:
I try connecting to the server but it is unreachable.
I try connecting to the server but it's unreachable.
Many objects:
I try connecting to the servers but they are unreachable.
I try connecting to the servers but they're unreachable.
try to + base or try + -ing ....
Which is affirmation more correctly?
I try to connect to servers but it's unreachable
I try connecting to servers it's unreachable
thks
In English we would say something like: "I tried connecting, but the server was down."
Tried is the correct action verb for a past tense action. "I try" would be used for example: "every time I try to connect.." and trying would be used as: "I am trying to connect", or I was trying to connect."
Hope this helps.

Which is affirmation more correctly correct?
I try to connect to servers but it's unreachable
(in this sentence, it is a repeated effort that you do every day. Is that what you want to say?)
I try connecting to servers it's unreachable
(this would not be correct. To make this clear as a apst action, say either:
I tried to connect. Or I tried connecting. The meaning is identical.
It means you tried a few times, in the past, with no success.
:)
thks
In your example, there is essentially no difference. There are cases, however, where the meaning changes a bit:
Try -- to attempt:
"He tried to get a job" -- but he couldn't find one.
"Try to get a job" -- I want you to attempt to get a job, you may or may not be successful.
Try -- to test something to see how you like it:
"He tried getting a job" -- he may in fact have gotten a job.
"Try getting a job" -- I believe you would be successful in obtaining employment, but you may or may not like having a job.
