please only start 1 thread on a problem... multi posts are deleted ( deleted your network thread ).

I will move this thread to Gaming as its a game related question, based on you have been blocked by Punkbuster software......

" We use multiple private one-way hashes so that no serial number information for individual computers can be determined by admins or anyone else who may try to obtain this information from a Hardware GUID (and as always, no personal information of any kind is examined, stored or transmitted by PunkBuster). When players raise a violation that corresponds to hacking or interfering with PunkBuster's normal operation, we now (in addition to Global PB GUID bans) are Globally banning the new Hardware GUIDs across all games supported by PunkBuster (including games supported in the future). So punks who are determined to cheat so badly on PB-enabled servers that they try to hack PunkBuster may now need a new computer in addition to a new cdkey in order to return to PunkBuster servers. As with previous PB GUID Global bans, the new Hardware GUID bans are permanent and will not be lifted. As always, players who are affected by these Global bans will still be able to play on non-PB servers. Honest users should never "test" hacks that claim to interfere with PunkBuster. We have successfully tested this new feature set over the past few weeks for a few supported games and will be rolling it out to all supported games over the next few days and weeks. Additionally, PunkBuster servers will be updated to signify whether kicks for Global bans are for PB GUIDs or the new Hardware GUIDs."

the punkbuster software has detected that you ( and I'm not accusing ) have been running game cheats/hacks for better performance, you annoyed a server/game admin or mounted the game using Alcohol120 etc

if you feel you have been un-fairly banned then use the support option.... http://www.evenbalance.com/troubleticket/new_ticket.php?game=rtcw
