That will probably answer you question. Assuming BZ is asking you to turn on your UDP

It would be best to search through the forums using the seach tab above before posting. Its most probably been posted before.

Some servers require a UDP connection, others leave it optional.
If you are getting UDP-kicked at a server that you want to play, you are going to have to enable UDP, to play there.
UDP makes everything play smoother.
Take a look at my Defender game mode concept.

Thinking is not an automatic process. A man can choose to think or to let his mind stagnate, or he can choose actively to turn against his intelligence, to evade his knowledge, to subvert his reason. If he refuses to think, he courts disaster: he cannot with impunity reject his means of perceiving reality.

UDP is enabled by default in BZ. They removed the option to turn it off a few versions back.

Its probably your router/isp

Routers, like everyone said, are the cause of that. For me, i was getting that message too, unless i checked a box in my roiter "enable gaming mode". that allowed UDP. (if you cant get to fix, maybe u should tell us ur router manifacturer and model)
