    Can you play if you connect the laptop up to the router by a cat5 cable?

    In most cases, this is a firewall problem, either on your machine or in your router.

    If it works by wire, it is your machine, if it still does not work, it is your router

    Battlefield 2 requires a whole slew of ports to be open to work as I recall.
