We'll need specific error messages. But to cover some bases, just make sure you have Arma II and Arma II: OA installed and ran to the menu, and use DayZ Commander to download DayZ and the latest Arma II beta patch, as well as a server browser.

Most servers say what mods they are running . If you don't have any installed,  look for vanilla servers

are you using a retail version of the game if so you need to update arma 2 to v1.11 and arma 2 oa to 1.62 before installing the beta patch
