So apparently

[frostbite2600]

The whole Windows Live connection problem must be a part of teh recall, if I have tried for 3 days to fix, with no success. Ive messed with the registry, connected to the internet directly, downloaded all the windows live updates, and even went as far as to call up 1800-4-my-xbox and still, absolutly nothing. This really really sucks. Does anybody have an answer for this? anyone?...

Send it back in and buy a new copy when they re-release?

[frostbite2600]

I turned off windows defender and windows firewall, i have nothing else

re install choosing the "install and dont play" option

[frostbite2600]

Did that, and installed all updates before ever starting, still not connecting

i had to physically go to the live.com and sign in there with my gamertag and put it on auto loggin, then and onlyu then did my account loggin to live. (only had to do that once, works fine now)

I don't have issues with live as much as my wireless card. The Drivers for the Netgear Wg311t are crap. Disconnects after exactly one game of H2V... I guess under a heavy data transfer it craps out.

Have you tried the Atheros driver? Works much better, i have the same card.
