Hi Mancom37, nice to hear that you got it working!
There are players playing FH2 everyday, but it depends on your timezone whether the serves are full for you on a regular playig time. Most FH2 players are European, and therefore play between 20:00 and 00:00 CET mostly.
If you are in the US, you could check out the regular gamenights every week on Thursday
http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=16791.0As long as FH2 will be a BF2 mod like it is today, you will have to rely on European servers and matching times. This doesn't keep several US players I know from playing, though. If there is gonna be a standalone with a big inlfux of payers, things might be different, but for now that is not the case.
