Moderators this is not speculation! This is for real!
If you run bf2142 along side software like TDImon free TCP/UDP monitor, http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TdiMon.html, you will find that one of the remote connections that BF2142.exe uses is to 72.3.184.153:17475
If you go to NetworkSolutions and WHOIS the IP Address you will get:
WHOIS Record For
72.3.184.153
Record Type: IP Address
IGA Technologies, LLC RSPC-68993-1122139655 (NET-72-3-184-144-1)
72.3.184.144 - 72.3.184.159
IGA is IGA Worldwide and they handle the ads.
!!!Gotcha!!!
Possible solutions is to block port 17475 or better yet block ip address range 72.3.184.144 - 72.3.184.159.
I did and the game ran find. Please note that they maybe using other ports and ip addresses so in the upcoming days I'll do more testing.
