BF2 DC'ing me!

[Octavarium]

BF2 keeps disconnecting me. Usually just after loading or during a change of map. My ping is normal and I didn't have any problems on my previous PC (same BF2 account, same firewall, same router)

I'm using ZoneAlarm firewall/AV and a 3com office connect router.

I have limited experience with port forwarding but have been able to set the correct rules to allow other port sensitive programs to connect, so this may or may not be the problem.

Any help appreciated

Had the same probs and it was a dual-core issue, as mentioned in the second post.

Load the game, Alt-Tab out and Ctrl-Alt-Del
Right-click on bf2.exe and select "Set affinity"
Untick either of the boxes and return to the game

Thanks, thats not something I would have thought of so i'll try that if it happens again.

Seems strange though....I was convinced that it would be something to do with the internet connection/router
