OK the port thing does not work for me. This is surley a problem with punkbuster but I am unable to find the solution. IF you even get in the game even for a second then you know the firewall settings must be right. So why does punkbuser boot me from a server?

Step 4: Check the box marked "Run this program as an administrator"
Step 5: Click Ok
Step 6: Right-click the shortcut

i have 2142 and i play it on vista with the firewall off initially i did have some problems with the online play but i downloaded these and it stopped not sure if it will work for you but it did for me...
http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-bf2142.php
right click save target as on "for players"
and
http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
right click and save target as on pbsetup.exe
run these both as administrator...
on the first one go onto where you have saved battlefield then open the program files and delete "pb" then run the first one (as administrator eg. right click run as administrator) and do what it says.
on the second one open it then press i accept blah blah.. then when it goes onto the home screen which has four tabs on "add a game" "remove a game" "check for updates" and "quit" go onto add a game then sellect battlefield 2142 then press ok to agree with the path then press the check for updates tab and then press ok when it is done.
When you have done both DO THE FIRST ONE FIRST then run the game and try again, as i say it worked for me so should work for you..
HAve fun.
EDIT by the way on the first program oce you have runned it check what ports it sais for pbA and pbB (on mine 45301 and 44301) and open them...

Same problems. WinXP x64, just got these PunkBusterB problems other day, iv done a reinstall/repatch and iv tried downloading the evenbalance PB thing. Still no luck, checked both PB A and B added to firewall, they are. Worked for about 5 mins after the reinstall tho, any answers/help would be appreciated.

I was having the same problem and after days of getting frustrated I decided to try something just for the hell of it and it worked. What I did was remove my Panda Anti Virus + Firewall program and now the game works just fine no more punkbusterB.exe problems at all so for any of you out there running panda with vista you might want to look into using something else like I am.

Hey I have a possible fix path for anyone on XP (not sure of vista as i'm not running it). IF you arent running any extra firewalls, try turning off the windows firewall and it should work out...thats what i did and i got up 2 ranks in one match =D. even just try turning it off and leaving your extra firewall on...not sure
Pce out...i'll see if something else contributed.

This may be a solution but am unsure. I uninstalled the games since I got tired of it ticking me off. While troublshooting problems with bit torrent I ran across an interesting solution. I think this may work since the games relies on ports to work online.
I found that my modem was getting in the way of ports opening. Eventhough I had them forwarded in my router They would show as closed.
I put my DSL modem into bridge mode and this fixed my port issues with bit torrent. I do not see why it would not work in this case. I dont think there is much you can do for cable modems except maybe disable its firewall if it is there and possible to do so.
Let me know if you can even try this and if it works.

Okay, i have read all of these messages posted by all of you friendly users. But one problem. I do not have my firewall on, my modem is clear free, no blockage at all, i used to run servers and shit lol. But any ways, i get this error as i enter a server with a PB enabled.
Something like " initiliazation error for punkbuster"
then it will kick me, reason... "Punk Buster". So my big question, is how the hell do i fix it. I have windows xp, which you guys all presumed it to be Vista that caused a problem, then somehow the firewalls, lol. I did the pbsetup, updated everything, rewrite all of my PB files this that, i cant figure it out. Please help, your assistance would be much obliged.

I have this same problem. I get disconnected from a game after literally 45 seconds in the server, with the message "PUNKBUSTER" on screen. Now originally I fixed this by updating with pbsetup.exe but recently I reinstalled and the problem is back, but reupdating does not work. I have tried everything, I never ever have firewall or any protection software on (i play a lot of online games), and I have set every single battlefield related file on my entire computer to full security allowance. I am also completely able to play Crysis multiplayer which also uses punkbuster, even without updating the punkbuster.
Please help guys, EA support doesn't give a shit about anything 'cept payments getting through.

Well What helped me when this problem happened to me in BF2, Make sure the PnkBstrA and B are ok and when you want to play the game, I right click the Icon and select Run as Administrator. It stops the problem for BF 2142 as well. Hope this helps!

Did you make sure that it is "Started" in Computer Management? Because that could be the problem.
Also make sure Windows Firewall isn't blocking it.
I'm just guess what could be wrong I never had that problem.
If none of these help, Google what the box says and you will probably find other people with the same problem.
Hope this helps! ^^
