Anybody going to the SF4 tournament at Sony Centre at Mines shopping centre this Saturday? Apparently 1st prize is a Sony PSP

Saw this link in the events and gathering subforum:

posting for a friend,

he just bought SF4 for PC on my recommendation, but whenever he try to download profile ingame(GFWL ID already created, can sign in to the GFWL client itself), always timed out and says its cannot sign in or there is error with his networking equipment.

I checked his router and its upnp enabled and I forwarded necessary ports for him, but still can't sign in with SF4. So now he is just stuck playing offline and can't enjoy online gaming.

How ah? Anybody know a solution?

I feel bad cause I recommend him to buy the game.

He's on wired connection thats for sure. Checked tech support forums and follow all the instructions there, and still the same thing.

Well was praying don't have to reinstall windows again, but if no choice, i guess he have to do that.

So much trouble just to play SF4............

Did anyone face this problem before?

Sorry for late reply, had to get off work + go his house check on the problem then only can reply

His comp is quite new with parts from his old computer

Win XP(he hates Vista)
Gigabyte Extreme mobo
Intel i7 920 processor
Corsair triple channel memory 6gb(dunno what is the exact model number)
ati 4850
WD 1 terabyte HD
160GB samsung spinpoint(OS loaded on here)

Router is Belkin N+ Wireless Modem Router F5D8635-4v1(upnp enabled, and all necessary ports forwarded by me) and is detectable in My Network Connections as well.

Anyway here are the images of the problem.






Can log into IE, can log into GFWL client by itself, can log into MSN, can play WoW and log into Steam to play CS:S but can't sign in when open SF4 to play online.
Tried with all firewalls off, direct connection to modem instead of router also don't work, he's on Streamyx.

Hopefully there is an easy solution out there.......

he's using wired connection straight from the router, already mentioned he tried direct connection to modem, still same result.

Maybe I'll get him to try a different router


Yes he has the latest updates from GFWL, every time he starts SF4, it asks him to sign into GFWL and he does so cause he already created an account thru the GFWL client, it just won't download the profile for him and gives that error.

And yes, its an original CD-key used while installing............

I have no issues with my GFWL, but his is giving me headaches searching for a solution
