I had a very similar problem to this with Dawn of War 2 Beta.
I couldnt log into Games for Windows - Live without my Firewall being switched off. After login, i could switch the Firewall back on.
Being unsatisfied with this work-around and finding no help on the forums, i spent several hours trying to find the Problem.
I found that my Firewall (sunbelt) blocked "Kerberos Protocol" traffic by default.
By permitting Kerberos Protocol traffic, i can now sign onto Live without turning my Firewall off.
I found this Protocol blocked in a predefined Network security tab of my Firewall. You should be able to allow Kerberos traffic with Sygate.
Hopefully this solves your problem.

Exakt das war wohl das Problem. Nach Freigabe kann ich ingame in Winlive einloggen. Fragt sich nur, ob die Freigabe des Kerberos Protokolls andere Probleme mit sich bringen könnte
