connection refused when creating account? help please

I get this error everytime, how do I get this bastard game to play online?

Please give me the noobs guide.

Cheers

There must be some way to get it to work otherwise what is the point of the cracked servers.

I might buy the game later, just want to try it out online first.

Let me tell you now that you'd be better off trying out the demo then. No one plays on the cracked servers since they are not ranked.

Once the Coop patch comes out, then you'll see more peeps coming to play on cracked servers again. (I think)

You shouldnt get that error even with a bad key...
I know this because I have 2 online accounts... with bad keys.
There is something wrong with your firewall. Or maybe you have peerguardian blocking it. Check your router too.
Either that or you're an MPAA/RIAA narc and EA is using peerguardian on their account server.
Im leaning towards the last one as it seems the most logical.

I honestly can't get past that, I just checked it without pg on, firewall to allow most and still nothing happens
