I am behind a firewall by my ISP. Since I have a Dynamic IP address they won't let me remove it. I was just curious if XbConnect would run under a firewall. I can play some games (Unreal Tournament) while others don't run (any game on MSN Zone and Gamespy). Any help would be appreciated.

I had a Firewall on my Switch, but, I simply disabled it in my advanced section of my internet settings.

But, you mentioned the ISP has a firewall. Is there any way for them to disable it? Maybe getting a static IP or something?

Yes I would call your ISP.

That seems like a rare instance to me, an ISP running you behind
THEIR firewall. You'd think it would cost them money or would be an option to have that removed.
