I have just bought two new licenses of ghost recon 2 for PC.
I am having some serious issues connecting to remote servers.
No problem logging on. No problem updating the server list.
But when selecting a server I get to the "Connecting to Server" dialog and then it just sits there.
I have on two occasion been able to connect but then I am only able to see the game through other players - not actually play myself.

I have updated the game with the latest patches.
The only thing I can think of at this state is that I have a slow connection.
This was never an issue with ghost recon 1 though so I would have expected recon 2 to work as well.

Local LAN work without any issues.
I have also ensured that the ports (UDP and TCP) isn't blocked by my firewall.

Would appreciate any suggestions to why I unable to connect to remote servers (with possible suggestions for a solution (except upgrade the line as this isn't an option for me)

cheers
