First response after trying this:  "Holy S***, that worked!"

You should check your proxy server settings.

- Open the Windows control panel.

- Click on Networking.

- Click on Internet Options

- Click on the Connections tab

- Click on the button at the bottom that says LAN Settings.

-  Is the box next to 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' checked? If so, uncheck it and hit OK. Then click OK again.

Thank you, to   tama_48

This happens to me all there time!!!! Thats why people end up downloading the game illegally.

How can one bypass Origin if you have the disc already. Its becoming this never ending problem for me! First Sims, now this!

I've seen this solution on other forums and worked for me. 

1. Exit Origin. 
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc  folder and find file that named "hosts"
3. Cut file that named "hosts" then paste it to the desktop or anywhere you want.
4. Run origin and have fun. 
 GOOD LUCK ALL...

First of all, do NOT break the site's rules.  You get ONE message about your subject, not two, not more.  You had posted in an incorrect forum already, then you came here and Cross-Posted into this forum instead of requesting the transfer of your Off Topic question to where it belonged, which is here:

The original post has been moved to where it belonged.
