Give your PC a static IP, open ports for GFWL. They are the same as the ones for XBL. Pretty sure that should fix it.

But how come it works fine when I rest my IP for one occassion alone?

 

EDIT: Also, my xbl connections are flawless. So, GFWL should also be fine right?

Everything is running but the resolution is not going beyond 800x600 in Ubuntu. Thoughts?

Display driver issues..?

Allright guys, here's an update to my GFWL woes!

I'm at the brink of my patience. I've forwarded all the ports necessary, enabled upnp, disabled the firewall......and all other minor tweaks possible. Still my modem reboots when I try to log into GFWL.

The only partial solution so far is when I reset my ip using "netsh int ip reset" in the cmd, and restart, I'm able to log in for once, and I mean once only! Even if I quit the game and try and log in again, the modem reboots. So, I have to repeat the whole process to log in again. And this is the procedure I've been using for ages. Now totally fed up and out of patience. There......end of rant.

If anyone has any idea about what else I can do to end this, your help is appreciated

Thank you.

 

Also, is it possible to manually limit my internet speed? (without using 3rd party softwares)

Does anyone here defragments external HDD's here ?? Is it a good to do it for long life of these HDD's ?

 

I have two External HDD's 500GB and 1TB , my 500GB is almost full and 1TB is only 20% full.

 

500GB one has constant addition/deletion to it , so wanted to confirm..

Anyone ??

[Bird Bird Bird 1529]

^^ Don't think so as an external HDD is not accessed as much as an internal HDD.. You don't seek it regularly !!

[Joy 45]

Not regularly , but I have moved more than 100GB of stuff from 500GB HDD to 1TB HDD in the last few months, so hence was asking.

 

It would take 5-6 hours I guess to defragment a 500GB External HDD.

[Prathap 0]

@ Joy... if you have time then it is good to keep the HDD defragmented.

I play bc 2 with med high settings at a resolution of 1280 X 768 . get fps of about 25 - 40. i switch on the mp n then it gets f**ked !! Fps of 17 - 5 WTF on low settings 1024 X 768 resolution. Same with tf2 earlier i used to play it fine with everything on full but now it gets screwed. feels as if 1/4th of my system is bein used when playin mp , i think this problem is there since i shifted to windows 7 :| so what do i do??

[Bird Bird Bird 1529]

Have a problem guys.

I have a net connection from a local service provider.

Have been given a static IP and have to do a web login before I can surf the net. My plan is UL. There's no time or bandwidth cap. I can access my account settings & all's well there.

The problem is I am getting signed out every 10-15 mins. Speed goes down to zero and cant access the net. Takes me to the login page if I try to open any site !

I checked my settings & everything's seems well. Is there something I could be missing ? Because the guy says everything's perfect from his side ! :|
