Hello. im not new to FH i played alot several years ago.  I recently got back into pc gaming again.  I love this game and enjoy playing it alot.  i bought a copy of bf2 and downloaded FH2 2.3 installed it and updated tonight. whenever i join a server it loads the map the point where it says connect to server or join, i forget.  then i get this error message.  lost connection to server. I have googled and cant find anything that works. i have opened all ports that need be.  changed the affinity of bf2.exe and fh2.exe to use only one core.  Nothing works im getting alittle frustrated here.
my system is a new Dell All In One.  Windows 7  Intell duo 2.8ghz with 4 gigs of ram.  Yes, its a pos but i got for a  great price and will hold me over till i get the chance to build other computer.
Thank you for your time


the error i get is "Your connection to the server has been lost"

You can test your internet at www.speedtest.net

- Mannually update your Punkbuster. See www.evenbalance.com
- Restart your router.

why would you need to go buy another copy of bf2? :o

if you start BF2 and try to play online and it shows the you have a bad cd key you can ask EA for a new one

A new serial key will give you the same amount of trouble. It's the software that's not working, not your serial key.
The only thing you will be doing is a fresh install and you tried that before.

Can you connect to regular BF2 servers ?
