Guys, i Think I have the solution, at least worked for me.
Go to C:WindowsSystem32driversetc
find the file "hosts" and delete the last 5 or 6 lines with ea.com in them. reopen origin and play.

You are just awesome! Worked perfectly!

Problem is, this only works on Windows 7. Vista/XP people are still screwed.

[minininjasjhepardman]

Ah ok then we need to figure something out for vista

[minininjasjhepardman]

Hmmmmmm we try deleating any the files with ea server and do are repair instal

[ParagonSaturn]

Indeed we do. I have already contacted the Joe guy from BioWare that responded to this earlier saying that the majority of people are still having problems...I have not heard back from him, though.

[minininjasjhepardman]

We could really use a bioware person to help with vista/xp

[minininjasjhepardman]

Although my problems are solved I am also going to help

[ParagonSaturn]

How are they solved? Are you on Windows 7?

[BraveDude8]

For us Vista/XP people, we still have this problem. And EA/Bioware don't care.

[ParagonSaturn]

Why would you say that, Brave? Do you not want them to help us ever? The Joe person who posted earlier seemed to care. I'd like the Bioware and EA staff that Brave's opinion does not represent everyone who is having this problem.

the server has gone down for me in multiplayer has this affected anyone else?

They have not helped us before. EA are infamous in being unable to keep servers for games up and running. Go look at the NFS forums to understand.

Really jealous of all you W7 users now...

[CielleDuCiel]

Hold up man I AM using Windows 7 and I still have this problem.

[ParagonSaturn]

Cielle, you have this problem and you tried editing the host file that someone else suggested editing?

[minininjasjhepardman]

Yeah try doing that

[CielleDuCiel]

There was nothing to edit, all my 100% unedited host file says is this:

# Copyright © 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Window.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#       127.0.0.1       localhost
#       ::1             localhost
#       127.0.0.1  activate.adobe.com

Nothing about ea.com anywhere in there. Deleting it didn't help either.

whoever posted the fix... I LOVE U DUDE!!!!! thx i was getting crazy for not being able to connect it worked fine here,i just deleted and restarted origin and it worked on the first trial...

OK, I will tell you, deleting the HOSTS file will NOT solve the problem unless you've been doing some very strange stuff to your computer. I'd say the problem is that they must have implemented the whole thing without any dedicated servers. They randomly choose a player to be the host without properly checking to make sure that player actually has their firewall configured to be able to accept incoming connections. Then they make all the other players try to connect, and have a ridiculously long timeout and no cancel button, so I sit there forever waiting for it to give up.

Things they could have done to fix it:
1. Dedicated servers!!!
2. When assigning a player to be host, try firing a few packets at that player to make sure they don't get eaten up by a firewall before sending other players to try to connect.
3. Put a cancel button on the connecting page so that if I do get stuck with an unreachable host, I don't have to wait 5 minutes.

If this is the case, then doing things like turning on UPNP or setting up port forwarding would fix it so that YOU can host a game, but still won't allow you to get to games being hosted by an unreachable host. Basically, they need to have ALL the players either set up UPNP or configure port forwarding.
