    OK, go 

    Scroll down to "DLC Patcher" and download the "" for ME3.

    Unzip the RAR file and put both DLLs int your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32" folder (override).

    This will authorize the single player DLCs. I use this DLLs myself for my modded game but as always with third party software I have to tell you that you use this DLLs on your own risk.

I've been playing on Windows 7 for five years now at my college, however it is a brand new PC with Windows 10, since using windows 10 I am having a similar issue with dragon age: Inquisition where I cannot log into the servers there either.  I did allow it through the firewall as well as disabled the firewall.  I also have alt + tabbed out numerous times and no pop up messages.

Thanks for the extra detail, it certainly sounds like something is blocking your games' access to the servers. 

Do you use anti-virus software? If so can you try temporarily disabling it? Sometimes they can also block games, so it's worth checking. 

You mention being on a college network, I wonder when did you play on W7 last?

Perhaps if it was during the last academic year, new restrictions were put in place on the network and you'll need to talk to your admin? On the other hand if you played on your older machine last week, that's probably not a factor.

    Hey sorry I waited until this long to get back, I wanted to see if it would work outside of school, I'm now at my own apartment with Xfinity and NO anti-virus software and I still can't access the ME3 servers so that I can use my DLC

      Restart your router.

      If that not helps, shut down your Windows firewall. (just for testing purpose, don't forget to activate the firewall and the antivirus software later on.)

      Should it work after you disabled the firewall, here is a description how to allow a program to communicate through the firewall.

      This ports must be open on your Router:

      Origin Ports
      TCP: 80; 443; 9960-9969; 1024-1124; 3216; 18000; 18120; 18060; 27900; 28910; 29900
      UDP: 1024-1124; 18000; 29900
      Me3 Port
      Port 3659

      Clearing your DNS cache. or testing a google DNS could also help.

      If that not helps here is a EA connection troubleshooting guide.
