[bf1942] [bf2] EA/Gamespy blacklisting weapon unlocked/no time limit servers??

[Joe]

Make sure you are not using the GUI to start the server..That's one of
folks' problems with IPs and bf2. I guess the launcher eats the
sv.interfaceIP "x.x.x.x" line and spits out a blank instead, which defaults
to the 'primary' ip of the box.

Single ip delist against us..Changed names, no luck. Changed IPs, instant
listing.

What doesn't make sense is that I have a block of 8 IP's, and they're not
working on ANY of them, even with a completely clean install.  Did they
blacklist whole subnets? That would seem rather sweeping and severely
damaging.
