ARMA II - "connecting failed"

[[JiF]Uncle Stinky]

I tried unsuccessfully to join the ARMA II OA JiF server the other night. I kept getting the message "Connecting failed." The odd thing is that I was able to get into other servers, just not the JiF one.

I've been doing some on-line research on this, and it turns out a lot of people have been having the same problem with ARMA II.

One issue might be that I need to forward some open ports to my router. I hestitated to write that, because I actually have no idea what it means, or how you do it. However, tonight I might try to fiddle with some settings to do this.

Doc and other were trying to reoslve this the other night, but to no avail.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this proboem, and if they've found a way to fix it.

Good info on that site. They may also have a guide/how to for your router.

Can you list your router make/model? I know you talked with jimbo on ts and found a manual online. Ill see what I can do.

Thanks
