Fred Astair eat you heart out. At least I think it was Fred Astair. Anyway he's dead and...
!!IT'S YOUR ROUTER!!
That's why you can't connect to the server. How do I know this, Because this has solved, to date, 4,345,034 users out with exactly the same problem. So rather than post a short, to the point thread, I instead thought I'd try and ramble on in a vein attempt to captivate you, the reader, with some entertaining "Forum Babble"
Forum babble is where a member of a forum tries to fill in as much as he can about a subject with inconsequential mumbo jumbo to try and get around the fact that without this additional tripe, his or her post would be greatly lacking in anything resembling interesting. Not content with that I also have a link!

WOW!!!!!!! Ooooohh and smileys too
What thread would be complete without a link in it (and smiley's)? By clicking on this link, you'll see a whole list of other links to click on. These links will hopefully resemble the name of your router

- yippee, your router has at last found fame, at least on the internet anyway.
You then get even more links - Ooh I'm in link heaven! Here you should see a link for Falcon 4.0. This should be a close enough approximation of falcon 4.0:allied force and should invariably help you get your router configured so you can join the server.
Other than that it's your ISP whores and you should call them up and ask them to explain what subnet masking is and how can you make it compatible with your home-built linux network and how that relates to your router and falcon 4.0: allied force.
There now that was much more entertaining than me just going,
