I disabled my fire wall and did a re-install of the game neither worked. I am not using a wireless router and am logged in as an admin.
Does anyone know what "NA" means? is it a simple acronym for North America? or is not applicable?
Any of you all know a fix to join N/A servers?
N/A= not applicable. NA= (possibley) north america
Sounds like you need to install the 1.2 patch.
We can talk on teamspeak if you want.

There is no official 1.2 patch for SWBFII. This topic is meant to be in SWBFII right?
Could the NA be "Not Available" in reference to the ping when listing fire-walled servers?

Many of the NA servers (servers with no ping listed), are running mod packs or sometimes just a modded map. You cannot join unless you have the expansion pack or particular map that the current server is using.
Thanks I will give the unofficial 1.2 patch a go hope that works.

UEF hosts fws with some modsmaps, so it isnt cause of that.l
Many times its cause of the low host inet and the operating system.

That will change nothing since the Unofficial 1.2 patch for SWBFII is a visual mod (pretty much a skin mod). The author just gave it a fancy name.
Perhaps try installing the unofficial 1.3 patch. That actually changes stuff that helps run some mods etc. Here is the link to r129: http://www.mediafire.com/?pzznah47785jabb
See if that fixes whatever problems you appear to be having.
nothing seems to be working.
The background music does not even stop, the timer comes up gets to 60 and says connection to host lost.
Logging on with GameTracker Lite or Xfire is no help.
Google searches and the Lucas Arts trouble shooting forums have not had any fixes on this.
if any one has any other suggestions leme know :confused: [size=78%] [/size]

maybe u cant just join them, as in SWBF1 When Gamespy was up
Have you tried the old Gamespy trick of making your own server, quitting then joining the NA one?
Sadly yes
If its BF2, don't install the 1.2, get the 1.3 and like they sayed it could be that its a mod map map server and you don't have the maps, if where it says what the map is, is it in YELLOW font
it is indeed bf2. I'm using 1.3 and am wanting to play on pyrojocky's marvel server. The correct mods are installed and the maps always appear gray as normal not yellow. This, however, is irrelevant because no server with a "NA" ping will connect with me.
This problem is specific to the servers with a NA ping(whatever that means).
whenever i get on a NA server it works, by NA it means "Not Available" its just your computer can't find the ping that doesn't mean that your not able to get on the server. it may be your network that you may not be able to connect for some networking reason but i don't think that having the NA in the ping slot
I thought NA stood for North America, but I guess for me it means not available ;)
I can't seem to join the servers Pyro-Jockey put up either
The NA ping is because the server is behind a firewall that does not allow it to be pinged on the internet. This is a security precaution. I will evaluate the risks and see if it's worth exposing the server.
On a side note Dbiz didn't seem to have this problem connecting to my SWBFII PS2 servers running on the same machine. The PC version may be more finicky. That would not explain however why others can join. My servers are on the East coast. I've had players join the PC server from California and join the PS2 servers from Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
its not cause of that
All roots AKA Dedicated (paid) servers have a firewall also. Operating system matters.

This is true. Plug the PS2 in the same box.
I can remember at one point being able to join NA servers. I'm thinking some changes iv done is preventing me for doing so now.
