I am currently at university (and before anyone starts flaming about students and waste of time degrees.....I'm doing medicine =] ) and am in an off campus halls, and so although I have to be about 3 times as much for broadband, I originally was able to play BF2 online............

However!, somehow my goddam halls internet provider has managed to stop me playing by "apparently" closing some ports (or something) so now whenever I get on a server my ping goes from 1- 500 in a matter of seconds and "there is a problem with your connection" pops up.

Was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and is currently being deprived of enjoying the bountiful 1.2 patch /euroforce, because of goddam wanky university internet, and whether anyone knows how I can do anything about it =]

i am at university as well but i rent. my friends are in halls and because some of the ports are shut, they cannot play online. annoyingly there doesnt seem to be a way around this. i know this is not the answer you were looking for but i thought i would let you know that you are not the only one. good luck in finding some answers.

Has it only happened since the 1.2 patch? Cos i reckon theres something not right with the overall smooth running of it

lol TheMajorBummer, what you chatting about? why would everyone in a uni use 1 profile? that would be wank lol. and university is for learning life lessons, like how to pick off a smacktard at 200ft =]

Because the whole university was doing BF2 with 1 profile...so that means those profiles are used by 100ths of university folks..24 hours a day...seems EA and the Universities are gettin rid of those unreal stats.  and think school and university is for learning..and not pickin ur nose while ur at it.
