Can not connect to servers

Hi, I cant connect to any servers, it just says that connection could not be established. I have checked my firewall (Zone Alarm) and it does allow NS2. My PC is also capable of running the game (4 GB RAM, Intel i5 @ 2.66 GHz, ATi Radeon HD 4890, Windows 7 64b). How could I fix this?

    I'm getting the sameproblem as well.
    This morning I was able to create my own servers and join some servers.
    The last game I joined caused me lots of lag and disconnections.

    Now I can't join a game or even create my own LAN game.
    The best it gets is where I join the game and for a second I see the ready room before it sends me back to the main menu.
    I've restarted multiple times and the problem still pursues.

    Same here. It also gives "server full" sometimes. Why cant the serverbrowser tell what the max player count is so I wouldnt ahve to waste my time on the full servers? Also it could tell if there is a password.

    Ive alsoverified my files.

    Likewise but to no avail,
    must be some bug.
    Is anyone else getting this\?

    We had a similar problem during alpha when servers were hammered by too many connection attempts. Maybe its server related.

    I wonder why there's not more servers up.. I seem to recall that in previous builds there were about 30 or so servers up and now, despite the massive improvements (and a few more tweaks should make 6v6 playable) there are only a handful up (which leads to essentially DDOS'ing the few servers up with connection attempts :( )

    Hmm that's odd, I have seen this "connection problem detected" or something along those lines. But I did go into my localhost server...

    i had that with like 4 servers in my list, but in the end i found one that worked. perhaps its just that the server is full, or everbody connects into the same. But if you try a little you will find one that works :) I just had my first real game (until the server crashed ;) ), it was great! i love ns 2 :)

    I think sometimes you need to reboot the game in order to join another server. I've had that error for just creating an offline game before. But yes, it's a bug with the game and should be fixed in the near future.

    Well the games kicked me out a few times whilst I've been trying servers. For me, closing the game isn't a solution.

    Was it your first attempt or did you fail to join a full server first before trying another one? That might bug it out too. But it might just be completely bugged for some people, I have no idea.

    A lot of people are experiencing this problem (including me). I don't think there's anything you can do to fix it, but just wait for an update.
