Just thought I'd share this

I was on the phone with ea support and the reason I have been unable to view support.ea.com or profile.ea.com is because of Explicit Congestion Notification

I use this to disable communications with services or applications which intentionally attempt denial of service. Explicit Congestion Notification is not only a security feature, it is also a flow control feature for tcp connection and in general a good thing to enable...

However to view support.ea.com this has to be disabled.

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

C:\Windows\system32>netsh int tcp show global
Querying active state...

TCP Global Parameters
----------------------------------------------
Receive-Side Scaling State : enabled
Chimney Offload State : enabled
NetDMA State : enabled
Direct Cache Acess (DCA) : enabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : highlyrestricted
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : ctcp
ECN Capability : enabled
RFC 1323 Timestamps : enabled


C:\Windows\system32>netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=disabled
Ok.


C:\Windows\system32>

Not sure why I have to reduce security of my system just to view ea's support site , but this is what has to be done to view it.
