whats up with the BFM Server for DFX?? Every time i try to join for the past several days as soon as i click on the server in the list it goes to a page that says "Enumerating Session". Thats as far as it goes, just sits there.

A few weeks ago, our good friend *HmS*Hawk moved to an area without high speed internet access. So we are in a transition time for this server.
Our own *HmS*Ole Fart kindly volunteered to host BFM, and we sorted through the setup with him. But of course, as luck would have it, his router has now started acting up and has become a bit unstable. We are helping Ole Fart sort through these issues, and trying to get the settings correct and stable. While we do this, Ole Fart's server may be up and down testing it with a password on it. If you would like to play in this server, ask a *HmS* squad member for the password. It will be called Hardmaps BFM PW. *HmS*Trevor will host a public BFM server while we test and sort these issues, so there should be a BFM server for you to play on.
We at Hardmaps take a lot of pride in the fact that we host and manage a wide array of dependable and reliable servers with games for all of you to play. Most of our servers are hosted and maintained by the kindness and hard work of our server hosts, on their machines, in their houses.
We work very hard to have the games available for you 24 hours a day/7 days a week. We will sort these issues as quickly as possible. Please have patience with us during this transition.

It depends on how many people you want to host for, and its not a good download you need but a good upload as your sending more info to the players then anything else.

Do a quick test, if your checking for JO just click the HOST button and tell it how many you want to host for, then pretty much cut that in half - esp if you intend to play on the same line.
