Another DBserver thread

Hello,

I have been an avid CoH player until a couple years ago when the "Can't connect to DBserver" madness pretty much ended my ability to log on. Now I've decided to come back, but the problem persists.

The problem: When selecting my server (Victory), the game freezes for about 15 seconds before returning to the log in screen with the above message.

The problem is sporadic. I have made exceptions for the coh client and coh launcher in my firewall and have been able to log in one time out of every ten tries. I have verified my coh install as well.

I have determined with Fiddler that I am not sending any web traffic to the servers after clicking on Victory (but I ping them just fine), which suggests a firewall. Even with my windows firewall disabled, I am unable to connect, though. Any thoughts?

Edit: I should mention that my brother and wife have been able to connect with their computers on the same network and have never had this issue.

Edit: firebind.com tells me that all the UDP ports from 7000-7100 that CoH uses had payload send failures.
