after having teething problems with good old punkbuster on the PC, i am now having them again on my laptop.

during online gaming on battlefield 2, i get kicked from a server saying... communication failure pnkbstrA.

i believe i have tracked this down to be my firewall blocking the .exe files which is a real pain. however, i only have AVG free and im pretty sure this doesnt have a firewall? if it dooes i cant see how to access it and make sure i manually doesnt block these files...


my PC runs AVG free as well and somehow the game used to run fine on that?

can anyone help me to get it running again? how can i manually stop AVG from blocking these .exe files. (they are located in my windows - system32 area)

Are you using o2 be? lol whos your provider honestly though

 

[Nick16]

? what im confused?

my provider? i have BT broadband, and use AVG free for my internet protection...

sounds like you need to update punkbuster to me

 

[Nick16]

thats exactly what i get.

i have updated my PB using the tool from evenbalance, but i swear its something to do with the firewall.

i seem to remember having this problem ages ago on my PC.
its stopping pnkbustrA communicating with pnkbustrB

its decided to work tooday for some unknown reason. i guess me restarting the computer helped after all the trouble yesterday. even though i let it restart itself after install etc.
