I have a problem connecting...

[P-Rock]

I downloaded The XBConnect program.

I got the thick cable which connects from the Router into the computer. I got the thick wire that connects from the Router to the XBox.

I turned on my XBox with Halo inside, and loaded the XBConnect program. I went to system link play on Halo and went to the screen that said "Waiting for games."

Then, in the XBConnect program, I went to options and said to find my XBox. It said "Status: Found." So I went into the Find Games Screen and saw a list of games. I clicked on one of them and waited for about 20 minutes, with my XBox at the "Waiting for games" screen.

The problem is there, it said "Remote: Not Found." I joined other games that were available and waited for like 20 minutes. For all of them, it said Remote: Not Found.

So if the program does locate my XBox, why can't I join and play a game? Can somebody please help?

It sounds like your behind a firewall man. It could be in your router, but read around some of the posts here for some help. One way to check if a port is blocked, is by running netstat at the command prompt on your PC. This will show you what ports it's trying to get, and whether or not they are being established. If they aren't, then your behind a firewall.

Read around man and good luck,:)

yup
same problem here. There doesnt seem to be a fix unless you direct connect to your IP, or have some sort of manual IP forwarding.

I absolutely DO NOT have a firewall, just a basic NAT with all ports open (EVERY other program works fine, when i connect to outside sources without any config changes, ftp, http, ssh, newsgroups, telnet, gamespy all fine.)

So, i think the problem lies somewhere in the XBconnect net code, which doesnt take into account for NAT routers.


:/

i've been waiting for a fix since the first beta release. :(
I use the Xbox tunnel on gamespy, it works with routers.
