I liked the Guide To Connect very much, because it kept me busy for half an hour. Unfortunately that was all I got out of it. Judging that thread it has done a lot of good, and I can not with 100% security say I exactly copied it.. But I added all the mentioned ports, connected it to the already fixed IP address of my XBOX, and still the misery continues.

Also I want to stress that Like McConnelJuk these problems for me only occured since recently. I already got my Peterson achievement (50hours online play), before I ever got this. Which firstly let me think that when the EA Servers are too busy I don't get on anymore since I already had my fair share of FIFA09 pleasure.
Of course that is not a likely explanation. But also, the ports, to me, don't seem a very likely point of concern anymore either.

I'll keep checking this thread for some kind of brilliant solution. But if it can't be found let this thread at least do some good as a reminder for the lucky bunch of you what richness hides in simply being connected when you start FIFA (also meaning that disconnection while you're losing is good for nothing, cause while you get overclassed you can always think: "ah well.. atleast I'll have another go at it next match"; )
