Xbox live wont connect to games.

Seem to be having problems with live, im signed in and I can download things and talk to people over live, but for some reason it wont let me play games over it.

For instance FIFA finds a game but then says the connection is lost after I select a team and Modern Warfare 2 says my connection has failed everytime I try to connect to a game.

I'm not really sure what the problem is, anyone understand it?

You account hadn't turned into a silver account has it?

Nope, still says I'm a gold member on the dashboard anyway.

Network settings, test connection.

When mine does this works a treat.

Sounds a bit like it's suddenly gone to Strict NAT for some reason - the connection test might give you a better idea of what's up.
