Would also be good for you to do a ping, tracert and a traceroute to the NF Game Server and the NF Update Server then paste the results.
Then someone at SDE / TNF who knows how to use the correct tools .....
Will be able to diagonose the route patch, IP and latency for your connection to the server.
It would also be helpful to them if you post the exact time/date you are accessing the server so they can look at the metrics of the server load and data stream flow at that time......
I would post the IP's of the Game server and the Update server but this just results in a deleted post and the usual warning.....
:-o
