@EA_KentYes, I've played with both static and dynamic. No difference. I've tried a VPN but the second I enable the VPN, I lose connection to the internet. I spoke with my university network team and because I'm on University internet, they claim its a firewall issue that they cannot bypass. It's odd that this only happens with BF2042.
I'm able to access BF2042 from my laptop on my work wi-fi so it's likely isolated to a university network issue. Still weird that BF2042 is the only game I'm experiencing this issue with. Even weirder that I could access the beta and not the full game.
That is odd. BF2042 might be using different ports than other games or even the beta. If that port range is blocked on the university network that might explain why it can't connect.
