Thank you for your hints! There is one more question I have though, what priority should I give the dedicated server I run? Also, does cfos deal with 127.0.0.1 (loopback), too? This is of utmost importance to me here, since I don't play COOP over the internet, but on a local set-up.

Use also the highest for your server.  The application should bias any network connection, even the localhost (127.0.0.1).

Thanks a lot once more  :D ! I am testing it with these settings right now and have to admit that there isn't much of a change yet. However, I shall do as you advised and give this wonderful little tool some time to do it's work properly. I will keep you all up to date with my progress!

Well, it is now calibrated but I still have a very unstable and horrific ping. In the small window on the lower right of my screen no major ping activity is shown, however.

Having just received a reply to an e-mail I sent to the cFos support team I can confirm that what I feared to be the case is true-the issue cannot be resolved with the aid of cFos and it is not routed within the msconfig (time to reach 127.0.0.1 is exactly 0ms). I therefore concluded that the issue must lie in the server or it's set-up. Does anyone still have an idea how I could end this nightmare  :-\ ?

You said in the other thread you had like 4 years or more old installation of windows? Could do miracles to reinstall it.

Thanks for your replies! No worries, QPS this tool was worth every penny since it helped me solve various other networking issues. Also, I hope that your girlfriend gets well again soon!
As for re-installing my Windows, I decided against it for two practical reasons: First, I will leave Europe for good in July and when I return to the US I will have alot of things to do, rendering gaming impossible for a year or maybe even longer. Secondly, getting my PC shipped would be more expensive than the PC's current value itself  :-X . After this hiatus, I will buy a new one that can easily run FH2 and ARMA II.. But the idea is very good indeed. Such an old installation of Windows truly does more harm than good. What I am thinking of though, is to buy a disc version of BF2 and to replace my current EA-download with it. I am confident that this might help.

I will now try to re-install BF2 for the first time ever. I will keep you up to date and will let you know if I survived it  :P .

It is a long and painfull process but once you did it over and over (like me), it won't bother you anymore :P

Awesome. The EA downloader is FUBARed, proving once more that EA's customer support is, well, unique.
I will have to order it online as a disc version, and it might over a bloody week to arrive  >:( !

EA downloader --> First thing to uninstall.
I don't like the idea of not having the game as hardware.

Well, me neither  ;D . The first thing which I will do as soon as I receive the disc version will be deleting all of this EA junk.

Try running the key through Origin, if it's possible...  Maybe you can download it from there...

I just noticed something awkward: According to cmd, my ping is at 0. FH2 however says otherwise. Looking at the ping indicator when having selected my local dedicated server, I am shown pings ranging from 16 to above 60, at times even 2000 something. Does anyone have a logical explanation for this? Also, look what I found here: http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_7.html
The section "Usersettings.con" is of special interest to me, but unfortunately altering the latency compensation didn't do much. However, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what is wrong with the ping issue and if someone could educate me on the use of the latency compensation  :-\ .
