Xbox Live Conneciton

[chrisgvalver]

Right i hope some one can help me out on this my connection seem to realy struggle to play games where i have been invited to play, its just will not connect, ive got a really crap setup where my wireless laptop picks up the bt router and i plug the ethenet from my 360 into my laptop which makes the connection when i perform TEST CONNECTION its says (NAT) Strict so that probly why i cant play invited games.

So is there a setup up i can buy which will resolve these issues?

Get a wireless receiver for the Xbox. Or plug it in directly by ethernet to the BT hub if possible.

My brother had this problem, I had to give his xbox an access point on his router. This sorted out the problem.

Yeh that might work how on earth do you do this fella?

Been trying to research but having no luck?!

You could try and access the router and add your device in the port forwarding settings, dunno how you'd do that though and I don't know what other trouble you'd have with it.

But I'd just save all the hassle and buy the ms wireless adapter, or hard wire it into the router.

I have the same problem the fact is that most routers are not xbox friendly and because your NAT is strict its very picky about who it connects to, the way to solve this is to go into the settings on your router and do some port forwarding or put your xbox in a DMZ see if that helps otherwise plug the xbox into the router using a cable.
