Wait For Host while connecting(solution)

Hi Guys,

A bunch of people I play with started using a private whitelisted server a couple weeks ago and for some reason I was unable to join the servers although Arma 2 and DayZ work perfectly fine on other servers. It would just sit at Wait for Host when I go to connect and not even reach the lobby.

So anyway I tried all the usual tricks, uninstall/reinstall, clear cache, etc all with no luck. I think however I have just figured out the problem, in my desperation to find the problem and play with my mates I fired up Wireshark and noticed that my PC was sending fragmented packets to the server.

A little bit of research later and I had discovered that the MTU for my PC was set at 1300 (Apparently Windows does this some times for some reason) when it really should have been 1492 or 1500. So I changed it to 1492 and straight away when I connected to the server it started working as expected.

Hopefully this might be some useful information for anyone else in my situation.

Cheers

Foggy
