**** sb8200

SOLVED !!

I figured it out myself but it was a weird one.

I'm using an Aaris SB8200 cable modem that connects to my router. The SB8200 has 2 Ethernet ports (if you have a second public IP from your ISP and wanted to run link aggregation). I had my router connected to port 1.

I unplugged power to the Aaris and removed the cable from port 1. I waited 30 seconds then plugged power back in. As the Aaris was reconnecting to my ISP I plugged the cable from my router into Port 2 of the SB8200. That was it !! Everything back and working. I'm still not sure why this worked but at this point I'll take it and run 😀

It was the last thing I tried because I had constantly power cycled the modem and router but each time the cable was plugged into the Ethernet port on the SB. Removing the cable and connecting it back during the modem connection cycle made the difference, so I'm guessing some connection specific data was stored on the modem.

Hope this proves useful for someone else.

Go play Cod4 for an hour and then play any other cod..

I never prestiged in Cod4 (no CTF)... so when MW3 came out and if you prestiged in a previous game... you were rewarded with a prestige token for each game you prestiged in.... I decided to test out Cod4 to see how long it would take to Prestige ( I was
Rank 37? I believe...

In 2 hours I ranked up maybe one level... and thats with a postive kill-to death ratio and getting probably 1 helicopter per game at least once.... XP was SLLOOWWww...

I sort of agree that now you can turn your XBox on and get rewarded with XP on MW3 it seems.. they keep track of numerous crap like how many times I killed someone crouched with a silenced weapon, how many times I fell off a building without dieing,ect...

But to play 300 hours and never attain a level to unlock a certain weapon? Cod would not be what it is today if 90 percent of the players would never get to the top..

The coolest thing about Prestiging is that its a CHOICE... your choice... Activision does not force you.. .Microsoft does not force you to prestige... Some people will never Prestige

Man I feel bad for anyone that bought steel battalion. That game is pretty bad...

I don't think that hurt them all that much because they make profit from repairing consoles with expired warranties. ($100.00 per repair) You think that makes up for it or no?

[quote user="sphinx4"]oh?[/quote]BlackSilverAce is correct.
Attach rate needs to be factored in. The 360 may very well end up "last" in total number of units sold by the end of this generation, but if its attach rate is high enough it will have been the more successful console.
The console hardware is just a start. What can matter more is the associated game sales that hardware brings.

I think on that regard, 360 might be the winner.
