My server required my friends to switch to "Gamespy" to see it. Now that Gamespy is gone, it cannot be seen.

This is maddening, coop with my close friends is the reason I own this game. No one is good with the editor like me so all of our coop expreince is ruined by this.
Event Timeline
Me and some friends are afflicted by this as well.
Regardless of which of us host the server, the others are unable to see it or join it from the ingame server list, not even when using the "Remote" button to type in the IP and port of the host directly.
Trying to join through the steam friends list results in a server info window appearing that only shows the IP and port of the host, and <not responding>, despite the server being up and running for the host.
Happens on both Dev and stable branch
This a quite critical issue as it prevents our group from playing tother at all.
Exactly the same problem. Anti-virus/Firewalls etc aren't the problem. Tested all. Current browser finds only a handful of dedicated servers in general.
Don't know if port frowarding were usefull but this method posted on bohemia forum fixed it for me : http://www.sysprobs.com/enable-ping-reply-windows-7
