    Hi all.
    Im having problems connecting 2 servers. when the map loads it either crashes just before i start 2 play or a minute after. i keep getting the (connetcion 2 the server has been lost) message, or (there is a problem with your connection)

    Everything worked fine until a couple of days ago, since then ive reinstalled the game, dissabled the firewall but nothing seems 2 work.I can browse the internet no problem. any ideas would be much appreciated thanks.

    Does it happen on particular servers? I get it on one or two servers, but I find others work no problem. I also find that on the 2nd try, I can usually get in.

    I get that too, its SO frustrating, all other games work fine (hl1 based games, all hlsource based games, cod2).
    I load the map and BAM "connection to server lost", if I tab-out of the game and go back 95% of the time "connection to server lost".
    Some nights I can`t even play the game I get it SO often, other nights it works fine. The nights bf2 won`t work I go play the games I already mention with no bother, such a pain in the arse.

    I`m all patched up, punkbuster is up to date, all ports are open, it has to be the isp, but I don`t know what the bloody problem is so I can`t complain. I`ve already tried "bf2 won`t work, help me", they weren`t that interested :(

    The only advice I can give is go to your options screen and turn the music OFF, so you don`t have to listen to that crap when you are having to reconnect 4/5 times :(

    Out of curiosity, people who are getting connection problems, what firewall if any do you use?
