I reinstalled everything and it works now. Just hope I don't have to to this all the time.

Yup pb-B can be a pain as John said. I run zonealarm pro and when it updates, ZA sees it as a new program and stops it cold.

It is my understanding that PnkBstrB.exe periodically re-writes itself. I have to keep re-enabling it in my firewall (ZoneAlarm Free). Some anti-spyware software blocks it, too.

Nothing works, I called Linksys customer support. I tried putting the ports in each option (single, range, triggering) and nothing. I put it on DMZ, nothing. It really annoys me when stuff that should be working fine isn't because of whatever the stupid, little, silly reason might be.

And then I gotta try and understand the guy from India on the other side of the phone, at 10pm in the evening. Ugh, I hate it when stuff breaks.

You have to check which IP address on your network your PC is using ('Wireless' tab if it's on Wifi) and then fill out the 6th line of that grid....internal and external ports should be the one you need open, protocol leave at 'both', and tick 'enabled' and hit save and you should be good to go with that port open.

This is the page I'm looking at, I got no idea what the interior/exterior ports are.

PunkBuster has decided to start kicking me out of games again for no reason and I suspect my new router is the perpetrator. Anyone with network savvy able to tell me how I go about opening port 17567 so punkbuster will work?

Thanks,
