ArmA Server shown as dead, but it's alive.

Hello, I have an ArmA 2 server up and running at
IP: 216.189.8.183
Port: 2302
http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/216.189.8.183:2302/

I can connect in game and play, and a third party server browser also shows my server. For some reason, GameTracker has stopped recognizing my server lately and shows it as "dead". I do not have a firewall running. Can anyone help me here? Thanks

Have same problem. And, btw, too much servers have dead status (> 15 I've counted). How to fix it?

My ArmA II server has been reporting dead, even though at least 10 people have connected to it in the last 10-16 hours, it shows up in the ArmA II server browser too, but on your site, it says it's dead.

http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/176.9.8.208:2350/ That's my server.

It operates on a non-standard port because I my friend gave me access to his Dedicated server, and he has a server running on Port 2302, the standard ArmA II port.

How do I go about fixing that? I see that I can change the reporting IP, but that's the only GameSpy related thing I can see in the config.

Well, my server has been running ArmA 2 for weeks and GameTracker has recognized it perfectly fine until now. Also, I know of many other ArmA 2 servers that are recognized by GameTracker.

Dwarden: tell gametracker to update to support protocol packet challenge for A2/OA

Dwarden: same like with BF2 1.3

How long would it take to support ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead?

So, just exactly how do we fix this? I tried changing my reporting IP to the master gamespy server and it still doesn't seem to recognize my server.
