"Connecting Failed" when joining all servers

[xoforoct 0]

Hey all, I am running a steam install of Arma II and OA (version 1.6.0), beta patch version 94700, DayZ mod version 1.7.2. I am running the game from the "Launch ARMA2 OA beta patch" with target:

"D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -skipintro -mod=@DayZ

I also have the "Start in" set to:

"D:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead"

Every time I try to join a server, it brings up the message "Connecting Failed." All the servers have yellow question marks by them, and none of them have worked yet. I added OA and ARMA II to the allowed list in my firewall, and manually opened ports 2302, 2303, and 2305. I've seen a couple other threads like this, but none that got resolved, most got no real answer. I'm going to post screenshots of the startup screen, server list, and the error message I get in order to help clear things up.

I'm having this problem, but there is another person playing... on a different CDkey/steam account in the house. I have played with this person on the same server when we had different IP addresses as well.

Got the same problem too ..... Dont know why. Yestarday i was playing just nice but now every server i try to join i get the same error. And another strange thing is that, most servers dont pop up when i refresh. Even with reseted filters.

P.S I use the retail version of the game without steam.
