Unable to connect to EA servers to activate Battlefield 4 on this computer...

I've already Googled this problem pretty thoroughly, and tried all of the recommended fixes:

  • Hold down the Windows key and press R. (This will open the Run dialogue.)
  • Type cmd and press Enter. (This will open a command prompt.)
  • Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /registerdns and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
  • Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
  • Reboot the computer.

Did that, no change.

I have no firewalls enabled.

My hosts file is empty.

My computer is DMZ'ed on the network.

I repaired the BF4 installation.

Furthermore, I use a program to monitor network traffic of individual programs, and ActivationUI.exe establishes a single connection, sends 62 bytes of data, then returns the error after a moment of no replies.
