A few months ago I posted a question about the "network incompatibility error 717" issue that was plaguing some of our regular racers: How to fix "network incompatibility error 717" on GT5

This was answered (thank you Tom Wijsman) and people who followed the instructions have never had any problems since.

Recently we've had a bunch of new people start up racing and from the second week on they started encountering "error 749" problems (I am not sure the exact wording of the error but I believe it says something about network incompatibility.) I pointed them to the 717 question but the answer given doesn't seem to have fixed things for them.

Is 749 a different problem? How can they fix it?

Maybe this has something to do with UPnP (Universal Plug'n'Play), as I know of some other games that rely heavily on this either being on, or off. Perhaps experimenting with turning the feature on or off (depending on what you have) could help? Run -> services.msc [enter] -> Search for "UPnP (something)" and disable/enable it, then try a couple of races, and see if that fixes it for you. – Jarrod Mosen Nov 10 '11 at 23:56
