battlefield 4 ping kick

I keep getting kicked from servers from a "ping enforcer", I literally cannot play the game anymore because these ridiculous requirements.  I'm so sick of this happening, I just want to play the pro...

    @thatlunchboxguyhello mate,
    i see on the 1st screenshot that you have no ping shown, which some admins ban on purpose because some clever cheaters are using vpns to play, avoid bans and IP region locks.
    I read your router owner doesn't understand what a DMZ is.....actually it's the SAFEST place between your lan and the net....this is the WHOLE purpose of the DMZ: maybe you can link a wikipedia page to your friend (fyi i'm a CISCO network admin)
    Some large network resellers have set up a large MAN (metropolitan area network) which you do connect but resulting you being not fully exposed to the net: read YOU + XXX people => ISP "private" NETWORK IP class (MAN) => ISP FIREWALL/DNS filter/routing apparates => NET
    normally you won't have that "firewall/DNS filter/packet routing from private lan to the net" or it's just a trasparent one which just "let" traffic go from you to the net and viceversa. If your ISP do have that "MAN and firewall/DNS filter(etc..)" you aren't completely visible to the net and other users like ping services used by punkbuster/heartbeat from EA server hence you get kicked.
    Basically another cause more plausible it's "your" modem/router firewall and its routing made strict by the owner: closing certain port ranges and services, port triggering/natting of those ports BF needs being used and routed to other IPs on your lan, network shaping (QoS) which may sound the true cause of your problem

    you can ping via command (start => cmd => ping ipaddress) if you know which ip has the server or just ping google.com and see how many hops you have before reaching the host.
    use tracert: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/314868/how-to-use-tracert-to-troubleshoot-tcp-ip-problems-in-windows

    sorry for the long post 🙂 and let me know if this solved your issue!!!!
