Connection Lost

[Jman234]

Today my Project Reality has been acting up. Every server I joined I could only stay for two minutes and then it would bring me to the main menu saying "Connection the server has been lost" or something along the lines of that. I've never had this problem before, I've only had it when the server actually crashes but the servers I was on never crashed or anything. This makes Project Reality unplayable and is very annoying. Every other online game works fine except this one. My ISP is Suddenlink but they have never given me any problems. Help would be very very much appreciated.

System Specs:
AMD Athlon II X3 435 Processor ~2.9 GHz
Windows 7 64 Bit
Mushkin 2 GB RAM
1440 x 900 Resolution monitor
GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H Motherboard (PCI Express 2.0 x16)
585 Watt PSU

update pb PunkBuster Online Countermeasures

make sure pb is working with pbsvc http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

make sure that bf2 is allowed through your firewalls, including your router
Battlefield 2 TCP UDP port setttings and minimum requirements

not a huge number of people have experience with win 7 yet, I'm unsure if there is a standard win 7 problem or not in this regard.

How would I go about opening those ports and when I ran pbsvc this was in there.
