Well I havent been baned do to it (Thank god), but if your firewall and/or worm protection is not set to ingnore PB you may not notice the pop up that its blocked till it's too late. From what I understand if a program blocks PB you may get a global ban.
it seems to be Worm protection in Norton Internet Security 2005, not the anti-virus. For some reason that version does not like BF2. After looking in to it I found a few posts pointing back to Norton Internet Security 2005 being a cause to game crashes, and some other issues with the game :huh:
I have problems updating the sever list due to Norton's Worm protection. Perhaps a similar program is blocking PB. Has anyone else had this problem wit nortons or is it just me?
