ports for EA server connection

I recently purchased PvZ GW and get the error message "can't connect to EA servers" except when I disable my modem firewall it works. There must be some ports that need to be opened? Another EA help page said to open UDP 3659 and 49152-65535 which I did but still doesn't work.

UDP: 3659

UDP: 49152 – 65535

Setup a DHCP reservation for your computer's MAC address, so it won't change since port forwarding is linked to an IP.

If there is a firmware update to your router, try updating it. Likely it has an automatic button you can click on a tab when logged into it but maybe not.

If they are manually forwarded perhaps try disabling uPnP. uPnP seems to cause a lot of trouble for people in BF games.
