ok i think i got the problem, i too tryed sooooo many things to do something about this punkbuster, i almost gave up until i toke the chance to try out last time

as follows,

start the pbsvc, and Remove punkbuster, and go to the map of battlefield (c:/programm/EA/
and remove the punkbuster map.

after this, DONT REINSTALL PUNKBUSTER WITH PBSVC

close pbsvc, restart pc, and then go to punbuster update (PBsetup),
now if you start pbsetup, you will see it did not find the client, and server of it,
but it does not matter, just click on update,

and it will automaticly REINTALL punkbuster and update it,

and this you will have not problems left

i hope this will also work for you and all others who got same problem

i had those heartbeat problems with punkbuster and i allowed everything in my windows firewall but it didnt helped.

then i opened manually this ports in windows firewall.

Battlefield 2 TCP UDP port setttings and minimum requirements

works fine now
