Battlefield 3 - Your connection to the server timed out

Hello!

Yesterday i tried BF 3 for the first time, on pc, and i had some problems to start with. 

I sorted it out and i was able to play the game. Today, i got another problem. Everytime i try to connect to a game, i can't because it says "ERROR

Game disconnected: your connection to the server timed out."
I don't know what caused this, but yesterday i didn't have this problem...
 
I've read the questions and still didn't find a solution! I've tried to open certain ports but i can't, because the router doesn't let me apply one or more of this ports.
I've reinstalled Origin Web Plugin and installed PB and added BattleField 3 as a game.
 
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time and best regards!

    Hello,

    I recommend to check thishttps://help.ea.com/article/connection-to-the-server-timed-out-error And run Punkbuster as admin:

    1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to c:\windows\system32
    64 bit, you need to browse to c:\windows\syswow64
    2. Scroll down and find PnkBstrA.exe - PnkBstrB.exe,
    3. Right-click PnkBstrA.exe - PnkBstrB.exe and choose Properties.
    4. Click Compatiblity tab.
    5. Click button Change settings for all users
    6. Click Run this program as an administrator
    7. Click OK
    8. Restart your PC

    Regards, Libever

    Hello, thanks for the answer!

    I already did that, and it worked the other day.

    The error I was reporting was already fixed with a program called : Smart Port Forwarding.

    But, if you may help me another time, I'm getting disconnected by PB and I don't know the reason for it.

    I get this error everything : " ERROR

    Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Noctis112' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Corrupted File/Memory [98080696] "
     
    Best regards!
