You might need to check your DNS settings. I had trouble with that as well.

Run a "test connection" thing on your xbox and you DNS should say closed,strict,open

You need it to be open, if it isnt call your ISP and tell them you need to change your DNS settings and they will walk you through it.

I hope this helps.

my nat is strict but my dns seems to be fine, could it still be dns settings or does my nat messing it up

[Primal DL]

LOL, ya I ment NAT, sry.

Yes that is messing you up, probably...I know thats what my issue was.


Call you ISP.

I used to have problems, too, but, I bought a new router and all is well. It always worked fine before, but, it was definately a tired router...so, I dug a hold, inserted the router in it to bury it, and then bought a new one. Yes, the good old router has a grave marker.
