I bought the game two days ago and wasnt able to play online yet.

First I had some problems with securom and after solving them I have some Connection Issues. The necessary ports are forwarded & uPnP is enabled but I still get this:

I have no firewall active. AntiVir ist disabled and as I said before the ports ( http://forums.gamesforwindows.com/t/4403.aspx ) are forwarded.

That screen shot does not tell us what is going on. What error code are you recieving or what is the error statement?

After googling the error I tried the whole netsh thing. Resetted the tcp/ip and changed the MTU from 1492 to 1500 but I still get the "The LIVE Server may be unavailable" Screen after the "Downloading Profile" Screen.

So what? The publisher says there are some issues with GFWL and I have to contact GFWL - Support but the guy on the phone says there are some issues with the game..

Is the beklin USB the network device that you connect to the internet with?

If you have enabled UPNP within your router, have you enabled it on your OS?

·         UPNP Instructions:

XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941206

Vista: Start -> Network -> at the top in the middle Network & Sharing Center -> Enable Network Discovery

 If after this step UPNP is not working. Then open up services application in your OS. Go to the search box inside your start menu & search for "Services". Look for network discovery in the list of services. When you find it, make sure that the service is started, & not stopped.

If you still cannot connect after enabling all of this. Try method 1,2 of this thread http://forums.gamesforwindows.com/t/785.aspx.

Yes, the USB device is the device I am connected to the internet with. UPNP is enabled within my router and enabled on my OS.

I tried method 1 & 2 and I still cant connect. I was able to play two or three days ago but then I got disconnected and the same error I posted before occurs when I try to go online with Section 8.
