Okay, so I'm having a quite annoying problem. I noticed it about two days ago, but at that time I thought it was just some signal that was lost along the way in cyberspace. Basically, I can access the internet like this, no problem. (Using MSN, going on VGC and the like) However, I for some reason can not access Guild Wars or play online on my 360. I'm connected to XBL; I'm sure some people saw me online last night, but I can't play online. Says I've lost connection to the XBL server. But that doesn't make any sense since I'm still able to see people log on and whatnot.
It's probably because of my ****ty internet provider, but in case it isn't.. I've tried restarting my router and whatnot, yes I've made sure it's unblocked by my firewall, and I haven't made any changes whatsoever that should've caused it to happen. I'm pretty sure I don't have any viruses or ****; I wiped my computer just some ten days ago due to a bad downloaded file, and I haven't downloaded anything but the vital stuff since.
IP conflict perhaps? idk, just throwing that out there.
Hm, yeah, that could be it. Though I could get out online earlier today, so I dunno.
If it was working before and just stopped working, it's probably your internet.
Indeed, but I thought it was quite strange that some things worked and other things did not. Turned out to be related to my anti-virus, NOD32, though. Apparently it had a tendency to block the Guild Wars.exe.
It doesn't explain why I couldn't access XBL though. But it's working fine now.
No, I don't. Router. The router was working fine though, so yeah.. maybe some maintenance on the servers here or something, I don't know.
if you can see people log in or do or see something related to online it's not your end. Whenever Xbox servers go down unexpectedly (like christmas 2 years ago) it doesn't crash for everyone and for some not even completely. If you can't log in at all then it's either your end or MS brought Live down.
Usually anyways. Either way, if it happens to Live again, test your connection through the system blade, see what happens.
Just to toss my opinion in it sounds like it was just a problem with the Live servers. It's probably just a coincidence that those two things happened around the same time. Things should work fine now. :D
