Has anyone else been experiencing this? I know some of the hacker groups have been posting emails and passwords and telling people to use them on common sites in case people are using the same password there. I guess it's just a good reminder to change all your passwords and don't use the same one for all your stuff. ]]>
Access tag:popchix.com,2011:index.php/forums/viewthread/.2144 2011-11-01T16:20:16Z 0 Draconian Briana HDMI Cable Question:) tag:popchix.com,2011:index.php/forums/viewthread/.2140 2011-10-26T21:54:15Z 0 o Luxley o
I'm thinking I need to get an HDMI cable and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what I should get since I'm kinda lost I don't want to spend 50 bux on a cable but I don't want to get a horrible one either So How much did any of you spend on yours if you have one and is there a noticeable difference in quality when your using it over the component cables? My Xbox looks better on the TV than the PS3 but I know the quality can be improved since I saw the HD channels on the TV. I'm not going to use my PS3 other than watching DVD's but I have Battlefield 3 for it and I'd like it to look a little nicer otherwise I wont play it, because I'm picky like that ;p

Any help will be much appreciated XD ]]>
Connecting to XBL via VPN/Proxy tag:popchix.com,2011:index.php/forums/viewthread/.1817 2011-04-28T02:59:14Z 2011-04-29T02:53:41Z Lucienna
after a night with little sleep I FINALLY managed to connect my Xbox to XBL via my Laptop and a VPN that masks my IP address as coming from the UK, thus allowing me to connect to the UK marketplace and buy/download content that is not available in Germany (as in the Gears 2 map packs).

OH JOY *jumpjump* :D

After 41% of the download were finished it didn't progress anymore. I first blamed my bf streaming NBA videos again wink - but even after he shut down his PC I wasn't able to get any progression. Instead, I got randomly dropped from and reconnected to XBL/marketplace, and even though my VPN monitor shows a constant downstream there's no progress. After 2h of several experiments with rebooting, reconnecting, resuming I was desperate enough to cancel and re-download the whole DLC, and now it's stuck at 1% (while I can still access the marketplace & XBL.

Does anyone have any idea what the reason for this could be? Did any UK users experience some problems with the marketplace/downloads a few hours ago?

I definitely had to leave for work now so I left it on, but I don't really have my hopes up that it'll be done when I get home.

BOOHOOO so close and yet so far ;_;


------------

Edit: okay, update after one more evening of trying to fix it smile I solved all my problems, downloaded about 3 gigs of maps for different games and I'm happy happy happy :D

If anyone else ever needs to attempt this, the steps that did it for me were:
- cutting off the internet connection on all other PCs on the net except for my laptop (=gateway) and restarting the router
- then establishing the VPN/Proxy on my laptop, connecting to the internet with UK IP, making sure that THIS connection allows other users on the LAN to connect to the internet, setting manual DNS server and automatic IP
- then connecting the Xbox to the Laptop via ethernet cable, setting my laptop as gateway and the same manual DNS server

And last but not least I found a slider in the VPN tool which would drastically improve my bandwidth raspberry


Ps: if YOU read this and you're German as well (because most other countries don't have these bulls*** problems) and need help, let me know. I found a few pretty cool tutorials and think I made about every common mistake so I'd know about them too raspberry

Windows Phone 7 tag:popchix.com,2011:index.php/forums/viewthread/.1772 2011-03-23T09:51:14Z 0 maribel21 I am curious to know some details on how the integration of Xbox Live functions with those phones. I am going to upgrade my phone soon and looks like Verizon will be getting WP7 in the summer. Should I wait?
From what I have read, the phone is able to link to your Xbox live account. I also read that there will be games on the phone that you can earn achievements on. This would be a killer feature for me - I like achievements! But are there apps?
Anyone have any experience with this? ]]>
