Vault Network Boards - "The connection to the server has been lost!"

I bought a new computer and am making an attmept to play AC again. I come here to the boards to see if one of you can help me.

Specs:

Running Windows 7

DSL internet with at&t ISP

Issue:

When i attempt to log in, i fill up the first vial then "The connection to the server has been lost!" message pops up.

Corrective action taken:

Uninstalled Norton

Installed Asherons call to C: drive NOT in Program files (x86)

Opened ports 9000-9013 on my router. Bypassed router ran from modem direct.

Called ISP making sure the modem is configured to NAT.

Turned off firewall. Made exceptions for Acclient/aclauncher anyways.

Nerdraged out.

Any other ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
