I get this error everytime I try to log into any server.
"Game disconnected: could not join server" OR sometimes "Cannot connect: EA online"(something like this)

Already tried:
Reinstalled Origin, the game itself, the ESN sonar thing.
Clearing browser cache
Using different browser
Restarting PC&Modem.

*www.punkbuster.com/downloads/bf3/pbsec.htm

choose "Save As" from your Web Browser's "File" Menu , then save this file in that location ([game path]/pb/pbsec.htm or [game path]/pb/pbsecsv.htm).

can you checkback with punkbuster? .. I am seeing many guys getting auto kicked from servers for PB related issues.
check if pbusterA/B process are running in the taskmanager ( or process with similar name)
offtopic: back to square one

^^ Join a server, once the game starts loading , switch to it and see if it takes you to the loadout screen.
