Szukalem sposobu na logowanie bledow PB i znalazlem go na Forum getsatisfaction.
Ponizej wklejam sposob (po angielsku), ktory doprowadzil mnie do naprawy bledu.
Generalnie najpierw mialem problem ze startowaniem uslugi PnkBstrA.exe - niby byla uruchomiona, ale gra szukala jej w windows\system32 a nie w SysWOW64. Skopiowalem tam wiec pliki exe i poszlo. Pozniej byl problem z posta ponizej - "Not Connected to a Server". Tu troche powalczylem i okazalo sie ze moj provider mial problemy z gatewayem blokujacym pingi. Poprawili cos i zaczelo dzialac

For 2 weeks I was suffering this issue. No help from EA and Evenbalance.
So what you should do is
1. Go to your PB folder and create a plain text file "pbcl.cfg" in it (use a text editor like "Notepad", make sure it has no additional '.txt' extension). Put the text "pb_logtofile 1" as a single line to it. Then save the file and join a PB enabled server. After getting kicked, you should have a file "pbcl.log" in the PB folder.
2. Open it with notepad
If there is written something like this
pb_LogToFile = 1 (0=No, 1=Yes)
Changing PunkBuster homepath to C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\BF3\pb\
you shoud go to C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\BF3\pb\ and find "pbcl.log" in that PB folder.
3. Mine text inside pbcl.log was with this
pb_LogToFile = 1 (0=No, 1=Yes)

PnkBstrA successfully loaded PnkBstrB
PnkBstrB service installed and started successfully
Not Connected to a Server
Not Connected to a Server If you see this it is time to do next thing
4. Run CMD and next command
pathping -n
www.google.com (or IP of the server you were kicked from It can be found in txt file from the previous item)
there you will see list of nodes 7-18 the signal from your pc have to pass to connect the server.
Next thiss command will chek if there is a packet loss on each node (you will have to wait up to 500 seconds)
Pay attention 0% of packet loss is exellent 1% is acceptable but more then 1% is bad and likely can cause punckbuster to kick you
First three IP's are yours If you have packet loss there it is time to fix your router
Fourth IP packet loss may be caused by bad cable you connected to your providers equipment.
5,6 node If you have loss there It is time to call your provider and ask WTF!? If they say everithing is OK they are mrazishes and you'll have to look for enother provider as I did.
Hope it will help you.
P.S. sorry for mistakes didn't have practice for long.
