Figured out the problem:

My router was set to forward the default ports to my gaming rig while I was hosting a MP coop campaign and I have my server box set to 2306-2309.

Apparently when trying to connect to a server using the default ports such as SimHQ it would stall on the side/role selection screen. Removing the port forwarding on my gaming box corrected the problem when connecting as a client.



I cant seem to get into the SimHQ server. I can connect and get to the Side/position(pool) selection screen but its greyed out and not offering to DL the mission.

It seems to be doing the same on some other random servers yet I can connect fine to some as well.

Using 1.03 no mods, also tried the with the beta.

SimHQ's isn't on the beta, not sure if that's an issue, however I had the same issues at one point last week. It was my network. What Firewall do you have and do you host your own games?

Good deal. BTW that was exactly the next fix I was going to suggest.

I had the same issue, moved my PC to use the same Firewall where I host my server from time to time.
That Firewall had the ArmA2 ports forwarded to my server.
That's a no-no with this game for players.

Are you able to run two Firewalls on your home network, like do you have Cable or DSL?
That was my fix for this.
