| Battlefield 2 online problem, help please.
Hey, I just got battlefield 2 and it looks like a great game. But there is a problem, when I try to go online it doesn't work. What should I do? I have Optimum Online and a Linksys router, thanks. |

Do you have Battlefield 2 unblocked on your firewall, including the Windows one?

| Here is a good place to start
From EA
Connection issues typically are caused by one or more ports being blocked by a firewall, router, or even your Internet Service Provider to help maintain security. These ports are the doorways used to send and receive information between your computer and the server. You must configure your router/firewall to have the game's ports open in order to connect to the servers properly.
The ports for Battlefield 2 are as follows:
UDP ports:
27900
29900
29910
27901
55123
55124
55215
16567
1500-4999
TCP ports:
80
29900
29901
29920
28910
4711
You may also need to have your Internet Service Provider open these ports for you. For help configuring a firewall or router you may need to refer to the manufacturer.
If you are using GameSpy Arcade, please check the requirements listed in the Working Around the Firewall/Proxy section of their site:

you shouldnt need to do anything to play BF2 online router wise, i didnt have to configure anything for my linksys router.
They are more concerned with software firewall such as windows xpo, sysgate, or Zone Alarm | |
