Connecting Failed every server everytime.

[hellhoundpro 0]

I just purchased Arma 2 OC off amazon in order to play DayZ. I have since probably uninstalled and reinstalled it 5 times in order to try and make it work . I have used three methods so far including the retail version, the six updater version and another installer someone told me to try but everytime i get the same issue which is when I try and connect to a server, after about 10 seconds of it saying joining server, it kicks me back to the server list and says "Connecting failed" I have tried everything I can think of to possibly fix it and I've probably spent about 5 hours exhausting every detail. When I launch Arma2 OA I have Dayz in the top left corner so it seems like its their and its also listedd under expansion. I have no clue whats going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated in fixing this problem! Thanks in advance.

OH also I just noticed on the server list, next to all the servers is a red X. What does that mean?

Sounds exactly the same as my issue. I'm also waiting for a fix or help.

Out of curiosity, did you put a space between the " and -mod=@DayZ on the shortcut target?
