Xbox Party Problem?

[Kaius]

Alright..I've got some weird problem with my xbox. I can't join any parties or join games anymore? i never had any problems before. It tells them they 'cannot connect' when i invite them and it tells me the same when im invite to theirs. I know its not my NAT because that varies, from moderate to open at random really. And i have a full 12 months live membership Any ideas?

Are you sure your membership didn't expire?

It has to be your connection. Just check your NAT. What Internet do you have?

[Kaius]

Its wireless if thats what you mean :P

Its wireless if thats what you mean :P

That doesn't matter. I use wireless for my Xbox connection and it's fine.
What kind of interent do you use? Y'know, Comcast, Clear, etc. That might be the reason.
Open your ports on your NAT, for one. That is your main problem, I think.

You might get better help on the Xbox forums, too.

It is your NAT, same crap happened to me before. You'll have to open up ports.

Find out your 360's IP address and write it down.

Easiest way to open it is go to your router configuration page.
On a windows computer, go to the network page. Then you should see your router, right click the router and select properties, then you should see a link to the device's webpage. Follow the link and you may have to log in (default user name and password are both admin)
Look for DMZ, then enter the xbox's IP address. Doing this will open up the ports, making the NAT open.
