Ok I know their is already a thread like this, but had nothing that would help me and is pretty old. I bought BF2 two weeks ago (finally) at target and the first time I tried to play online, that message shows up. I have reentered my cd key in cdkey.exe numerous times, but that did nothing. please help!

If your copy is legit, I suggest visiting LucasArts (www.lucasarts.com)'s) tech support.

i know why you are experiencing this. It means that you are banned from that particular server. Its the message you get when you have been banned. It may not be you that got banned, Bans arent perfect. THey sometimes ban innocents too, by accident. THat is probably what happend to you. A side effect of someone elses banning. Try playing on a different server.

Do you have SW:BF:II installed on any other computer on your home network?
I have a similar problem, with the same result. I have battlefront 2 installed on 2 computer's in my house... I have 2 discs for it, a DVD and CD version.
Even though both keys are legit, it doesn't let both computers join the same game, unless one of them hosts.
Try contacting LA?

That's not right. Both computers should be able to connect just fine. Are both disks the same version? If one of the games is v1.0 and the other is v1.1, then both versions will give you a different server list. Update from 1.0 to fix the problem.
