What am i doing wrong? Read on a post here somewhere "where supposedly if you set up certain presets to set up your own server that it supposedly helps in joining servers as well" Any truth to this??? Need help/recommendations plz!!!

if I jump out of a server and then try to jump right back in I get "authentication" becuse it still shows me in my server, make sure your firewall is turned off or set to allow your game to run

get the beta patch. i couldnt find any servers till the game was patched, now the server list lights up like a christmas tree. The only problem is the patch is suposed to be incompatable with previous version of the game although i have played on servers no problem, dunno how you find what version the server is running but then again i havnt really looked.

Checked my firewall & it was already set to "auto" so i don't know if it'll make a difference or not, but i changed it to "allow"
