Well person 1 can play on normal servers so the ports that the game uses are okay. but if he tries to connect to our private server it fails. We thought maybe in this forum the problem could be fixed with you guys giving some advice. We will try things out tonight and report with an RPT file. I am also convinced it may be a router problem, but that could be fixed with port forwarding or such, right? Anyway, I greatly appreciate the input you guys have given! Have a great day!

Hey freeborne, I'm with @Dyllie13 on this problem. I can connect to his server without a problem. It's just our other friend who can't connect and this isn't only the problem with ArmA2 but also with other games. Me and @dyllie13 Can play everygame together but our other friend can never join our game. That is our problem. We will post a clean .RPT File ASAP maybe there could be some information. I don't think it's the problem of the server he his hosting. thank you very much for the given advice, we will try some of em.

Hello guys! I am with Dyllie13 here, I just want to give some more details on the situation we are having here. I can always play with Dyllie13 hosting and vice versa with different games on Hamachi, Tunngle or just the regular Internet Server. But we have another friend that bought ARMA2 specifically to play with us and join our games. <- This here doesn't work. It didn't work on Doom 3 CooP mod and it doesn't work with ArmA2. While my friend and I know the how-to's in order to achieve something of this technical we just can't put our fingers on this one. To clarify: - I can always connect to Dyllie13's servers - Our other friend cannot - We are all living in The Netherlands, even in the same city. - All same providers I believe. - Our friend can join a public server and is able to see/communicate with us within that server - He can see our server but cannot join, "Connection failed" - error Things we did: - We updated his Battleye - We port forwarded the needed ports for ARMA2 - Turned off firewall and Anti-virus(some freeware anti-virus program which I still think is causing the issue even when turned off) - Tried connecting to the friend's server I really think it's a router related problem or the anti-virus may be the cause. But if the routers ports are forwarded it should cause no problems, right? So if somebody can shed some light on this one as we cannot find anything that could be the possible solution, we would be very thankful.
