PDZ Connection Problems

[RobDimmock]

When I go to search for a quick deathmatch game, it searches then goes to the conencting screen but then it says connection failed. Just wondering if anyone knows what is going on and how I can rectify this situation.

Also I have a problem when I send a chat invite to some of my mates that doesn't work either, as when they join it just disconnects them straight away.

Can some help me?

thanks

I had that issue, had to open the ports for Live on my router.

3074 TCP/UDP
88 UDP

do u know if this is because of your route being strict or moderate?

mines currently on moderate, i find best way to join matches is search for them and if it doesnt let you connect to a game search again and dont try the same one again, usually within 2-3 tries im in, but that really is coz of my router, i dont think opening ports would help me but im going to try it anyway.

But then again im waiting for a 'dood' to come an help me with my router.

Im using my LIVE straight from my BT Voyager 205 ADSL Router. Any idea what I can do to get it to work? How do I open al;l the ports?

There we go

follow this guide you should manage it, the last bit will be a be different because its telling you how to access the xbox 1 settings on the Xbox, just go to network settings on the 360 and put in the same stuff.

Edit: Is there any easier way to do this? When I get tot the advanced tab and clikc on IP routing it just stays on the quick start page. Please help!

It's definately due to strict NAT settings - I had the same problem with the same router. Try following the guide again. If you click IP routing through the router manager icon on your desktop, you should be able to configure everything ok, also bearing in mind that you'll have to alter the settings on your 360. If you still can't do it, pm me and I'll go through it with you on MSN or ICQ - it's a complete pain to describe in a forum post.
