    Hi i had the exact same problem, the solution for me was editing a file in my profile folder, here's what I did.

    1:go to the "Battlefield 2142" folder located in "my documents".

    2: Enter the folder labeled "profiles".

    3: The folders are labeled "0001" "0002" etc. to find yours enter them and open the "profile.con" (you can use notepad) file, the top line in the file states the profile name.

    4: Once you have found your profile folder open the file called "ServerSettings.con".

    5: There should be a line "GameServerSettings.setInternet 1" change the "1" to a "0" so it now reads "GameServerSettings.setInternet 0", now save, fire up 2142 and try it out.

    I can't guarantee this will work and I urge you to back up the file before editing. I DO NOT know if this affects online multiplayer as I'm currently using 3g internet and can't play.

    Good luck and a late happy new year.

Thanks Shadowwolf0357.

Your advice solved the problem.

The specific profile suffering from the issue is linked to the GameSpy servers, which do not exist any longer.

Hence, I am unable to verify Internet multiplayer using that specific profile.

A late happy new year to you too.

Kind Regards
