I have just discovers I had this problem too. My ISP is trouble shooting Broadband issues and have asked me to configure windows 11 to connect to them with PPOE (so they can detect drop-outs etc).
After a few mins I figured something that will make it work, see my steps (windows 11):
1. Have my OS on PPOE connection to my ISP.
2. Start BF2042 (keep game open).
3. Internet cuts off, PPOE connection is still 'connected', but windows then auto switches to my ETHERNET 2 (internet fixes itself). At this time PPOE is still connected.
4. In Windows - disconnect from PPOE, and RECONNECT the PPOE.
5. Windows came up with a 'allow this program' to connect message - accept
5. Go back into game and try connect to the service
With the above I was then able to play while on PPOE.
See if this works for you.
I too have had this problem since BF4 when I first installed it in 2020! Game would drop my laptop wireless connection to my modem every time. So I went wired ethernet from modem to my laptop. BF4 would NEVER work wireless. Since last 9 months I have BF2042 installed and wireless no problem. Now today is doing the same thing, same laptop and dropping wireless connection to same modem as soon as BF2042 starts. I have not tried wired yet, cos I am typing here.
The first page someone mention KILLERLAN, that POS software I have come to hate, I have it installed and cannot be uninstalled from my MSI laptop.
