We had the same issue with UK105 and 106, It turns out we had to first re-do our ports on the firewall, And then secondly enable ICMP (google) and now we have a stable server with 35 ping

When you rcon and type MaxPing what does the value show?

I had an issue where HFB control panel only lets you edit a predefined BEserver.cfg, but the server wasn't using that.. instead it was beserver_active_xxxx.cfg or something (which we no longer have access to apparently, so hopefully we don't have to change it!). Might want to check for that kind of alternate file and see if that does it.

my beserver.cfg only contains

RConPassword=$$admin$$

MaxPing=$$155$$

thats it ( no thats not the password but still ) i also dont have bercon

It just kicks them. It doesn't ban them from joining. Have you watched to see if they are eventually kicked? I'm not sure how many cycles it takes to kick them for it.
