How did you get it to work? I'm stuck.

I would also like to know. It's very annoying having to disconnect and reconnect 10 times.

Actually it might be the server issue, there are no proper dedicated servers yet so they are kinda unstable and crashing alot. (especially on large populated Wasteland servers)

The servers are relatively stable.

There are missions being played that are effecting stability. This at the moment is the main reason for server crashes on Stable version servers

If you cannot connect to a server, reasons may be

1) if the colour of the icon at the left of the server name is green

1. The server admin may have temporarily locked the server
   
2. All the available player slots may have been taken (Number of players a server will accept is based on a config setting that the server admin defines. This however is limited by the number of playable slots currently available in the loaded mission)
   
3. You are banned
   
4. You are running a modified set of data files to that of the server and the server has implemented some basic security settings
   This may occur if both the server and you are running the same development branch, eg Stable or [DEV] but have different versions. In this case it is more likely you have the most up to date version, not the server
   

2) If the colour of the icon at the left of the server name is yellow

1. The server or you are running additional 3rd party content that MAY NOT be compatible

In a lot of cases you will be able to connect and play, however if you are not running a -mod folder, then the server most likely will be. If this is the case they may be running addons on some missions that you do not have. if that is the case you will not be able to play all missions on that server and if one of those missions is loaded it will kick you off

3) If the colour of the icon at the left of the server name is RED

1. You are running an incompatible version, eg DEV or Stable mismatch between you and the server
