Can join hive servers, but not non hive servers

[thelonewarrior 886]

This all started with the latest arma 2 update. I was in a non hive server wanting to practice some combat tactics with my squad without the risk of losing our gear (non hive = new character for that server only)

I was in game and then decided to update arma 2, and now it wont let me in any server that is non hive.

This isnt a big deal, but I would like the option.

When I connect to a non hive server I instantly get the message:

Connection Failed

and returned to the title screen.

It seems like its not even tried to connect, there is no delay. As soon as Dayzcommander has finished starting up Arma 2 for whatever server im trying to get into that happens. Occasionally I get to the 'Wait for host' screen but it never gets past it, ive left it for 20mins sometimes.

I tried going back to the last update, but all that did was not allow me to join any game whatsoever, so I updated it again so I can play in hive servers.

Any ideas would be greatluy appriciated
