    look in your game folder for punkbuster a and punkbuster b , Make sure your firewall allows them to connect to the internet. Also you could download pbsetup.exe from the punkbuster site and run it to update punkbuster + Your game now instead of when playing it.

    I found that pnkbustrb runs when the game is running. I do know you have to exclude the files in your anti virus software. It will block the files. Also your router shoud allow th file past you firewall. Even in windows firewall if you are using it. I am still having this problem even after completly turning off my firewall. I do have the two files excluded in norton. Something must still be blocking theese files from using the net. Have not played the game since my last post. Have not forgotten about you.
