"The server has refused the connection"

[beveik]

Hi all,

i get this message once i try to login to the main Account server when the game starts.
OS: windows XP SP3, no firewalls (windows firewall disabled)

I was playing happy and knees-deep in opponents blood when it happened first (one day everything is fine, second - troubles start), i reinstalled the game, it didn't help.
Then i installed fresh copy of Windows XP SP3 and reinstalled the game, it didn't help either.

So here i am. I play this game for a few years and didn' come upon anything like that. Found few threads in this forum, but no one suggested anything helpful so far:

I've searched main EA forums for help and found this:

The server has refused the connection - Battlefield 2 General Discussion (General Game Discussion) - Battlefield 2: EA Forums

But deleting profile folder didn't help.

by the way, i get almost identical message whlie trying to connect to PRmumble 0.5:
"Server connection failed: Connection refused". Is this somehow related to the main problem?

Any ideas?

sounds like a firewall issue, ensure that your router and antivirus/windows firewall are allowing your games to connect to the internet

thanks for responds. I've removed oldest router from my sophisticated router chain and changed it to the new one. And everything works at the moment.

It was a internet problem. thanks again
