Error 1017

[Spazz502]

So this has me stumped.

I'm getting the 1017 error after not even being able to log in for the longest time from my desktop.

-Laptop logs in fine from my wireless.
-Desktop was getting (A connection is required) message.
-I tried copying my laptop's working install to my desktop and the same thing happened.
-I finally managed to get my desktop to let me get to the log-in server. ( I port forwarded the 5998 and 9000 to my desktops IP ) Not sure why this changed anything because my Laptop has no setting in my router (never added any had it like 6 weeks)
-Start to connect to a server (any server) the screen blinks and goes back to log in.
-Did a clean install to a different folder and getting the same error.
-Turned off AVG no difference.
-Rebooted PC no difference
-Tried in safe mode with networking (Not an option because of no 3d support)
-My laptop on my wired connection can connect just fine.


Any ideas on what I can try?
