My wife and I have four computers (two desktops, and two laptops). All of them could connect and play SupCom / FA except for one (it runs Vista x64 Ultimate). It was always disconnecting me from GPGNet after a game, or not letting me into chat. Sometimes it would ask me for my CD Key when logging in. I would just shrug it off and reconnect. However, my mobo died, and after I put the new one in, GPGNet was about 90% non-functional. I randomly connected a couple times and got in to chat, but was usually disconnected in a couple minutes. Mostly it would ask me for my CD key and tell me it wasn't a valid key. I realized the problem was likely local because the other computers were working fine. I uninstalled the firewall & A/V software.. completely reinstalled the game. Tried a million other things as well to no avail. Now for the fix that finally worked for me:
I used the technique from these two web pages to reset my TCP/IP stack:

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/18/repair-and-reset-windows-vista-tcpip-winsock-catalog-corruption/
These are the commands to execute from a console with admin priveleges:
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
I have connected without a hiccup about 10 times in a row.
I'll re-post if the problem resurfaces. I hope it doesn't ( /knockonwood ).

do i need to put in a different code?|||GPGNet, you're a horde of incapable coders.
Thanks to Tornsack, I can now play SC after around a year of pause due to GPGN mediocrity. Long live the fans.|||Kres7787|||Thank you for dissecting my words. If you didn't really figured out what I meant, I meant people behind GPGNet.
I couldn't play SC due to their unwillingness to address the issue, and leaving work that should've been done by them in the first place to a player that managed to go on a solo crusade and he in the end solved the problem by himself. What should've I said. Well done GPG, outstanding performance. I couldn't play SC for a year but that's not a problem, I should've known I need to reset my router with those commands. Seems obvious and I usually do it for every other game I play online, why didn't I thought I just need to do the same with SC.
