Just follow that link, find your router, and do the same thing for all the other GFW-Live ports.

PWXBOX360:

Something I would add is that users may be better off with an Open NAT. You can check your network status within the guide menu. If it says Open NAT you are very unlikely to get issues like dropped connection to LIVE games as soon as you enter the lobby. The reason I say this is that here in the EU a lot of ISP's have setups for consumers which mean if you want Open NAT you have to lose services like auto ISP aupdates to your router.

BT in the UK especially works best with an Open NAT. Even after allowing all the ports through your firewall I found GFWL was unstable with my ISP (BT) so I had to disable it totally for an Open NAT status in the guide!

 

I edited some more in. I think I am going to add a whole bullet on Nat definitions & how it will affect gameplay. Add Ping & Internet download/upload speeds in it too.

Hey Glocks, just a suggestion but I think you should also add the new Games for Windows LIVE banner below the old LIVE banner.  (Like the one on Street Fighter IV)

Are you sure they are using this new logo for every title? I don't see the fuel box art, nor the game anywhere around my area. The box art on http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-us/Games/Pages/fuel.aspx is showing the old logo.

Yes but they also used the old logo on Street Figher IV but in fact, they used the old logo,

Ahhh I see grasshoper. Does anyone have Fuel for GFWL that can confirm what the logo is? The box art is not available on the internet or is unreliable.

Fuel still uses the old layout and its a big case.  (like Gears of War, Halo 2, etc)

GFWModerator, can we get any type of confirmation that the Games for Windows Live branding will now look like the Street Figher IV logo? Or would that be in the publisher/developers hands as well?
