When I first booted my computer this morning I could update in pbsetup as much
as I wanted. After trying to play the game unsuccessfully, I was struck with
this issue again.

The wget loop was fine and wireshark gave no clue as to what the problem is
with pbsetup.

The pbsetup issue seems to be triggered by the PunkBuster failure that I was
trying to solve in the first place.

The issue I'm trying to solve is that I'm immediately kicked out of game by
PunkBuster because of: "Service communication failure:PnkBstrB.exe
Initialization failed". In system monitor I see PnkBstrA, but not PnkBstrB.
Sometimes, it appears but closes immediately. On the Windows Vista virtual
machine, when the game runs, both services are running steadily.

The general advice to PunkBuster issues is to update with pbsetup. In fact, the
game is already updated to the latest PunkBuster version. pbsetup is
unnecessary. 

Using pbsvc.exe to Uninstall/Reinstall the services doesn't solve the issue
either.
