Connecting failed message when joining multiplayer servers

Steps To Reproduce

This happens every time I join a multiplayer server.

Additional Information

I have tried the following: Restarting computer and arma
create my own server (Whcih worked but I can't join other servers)
Allowing arma 3 to go thru the firewall both in public and "home networks"
Router firewall is turned off.

I also have UAC completley turned off.

The first time I tried to join a multiplayer server, I got to the character selection screen, but the server wasn't playing yet and I couldn't press the OK button. After about 2 minutes, I disconnected from the server. The next time I tried to join a server, this happned and I have not been able to join servers since then.

I found another issue report about the same issue and suggests that this has something to do with thomson routers which is what I have. That is most likley the problem

other users with routers than thomson are reporting same problem.

check #329

Please let us know in note section if you are still able to reproduce this issue in latest Developement build.

This is still happening for me in the latest build, but not as often as it used to in alpha. I also don't think that the router is related to the problem, since my brother is behind the same router as me (also it's a TP-Link, not Thomson) and when one of us encounters a server where connecting fails, usually the other can join that server without a problem.

I have the same issue when I want to connect to the sever of my brother. And when I make a server he gets the same message.
I can join other servers. Is there more information on making a server like firewall settings, debug possibilities and such?
