Okay well basically in Call of Duty and Halo 3 I have problems getting into parties. I know it has something to do with opening my NAT?? Well I was wondering how I go about doing this.

I have a Linksys Router if that means anything.

Same thing happens with me, it tells me to go to www.bungie.net/router . that doesn't help at all though.

Yeah, every time in COD4 my party goes to find a game I can't connect to the host. And it happens alot.

Midget tried to explain how to fix it but I didn't really follow what he said....

You need to either port forward your router or enable upnp

I explained this in another topic, however, I just re-searched my post and C&P'ed what I said there.

Ok, well first off you can try using your DMZ.

Firstly, you will need the IP of your xbox 360. To do this, go to the purple blade (last blade over to the right).
Then go to network settings > edit settings (don't worry you won't edit anything in here) > note down IP.

Now go into your router's admin panel, and look for the tab "DMZ", in there you can add a few IPs to the DMZ. Add in your xbox 360 IP address in there, voila, should be open. (works for me 95% of the time)

Note: oyu can remove any PC Ips in there if you wish/need space.

---
If that doesn't work you will want to port forward to open them.

The prescribed solution is to "open" the following ports on your router:

* UDP 88
* UDP 3074
* TCP 3074

By "open" I mean forward traffic on those ports to your Xbox 360 console. First, you need to find the local IP of your Xbox 360 console. You can get this from the network settings tab in the dashboard. It's probably 192.168.x.x. Now, login to your router's admin panel. If you've never done this, refer to your router's user manual. It's not difficult at all. If you're absolutely too lazy or unable to find the manual, try the following:

1. Type 192.168.1.1 into your browser's address bar. If that doesn't bring up your router's admin panel try 192.168.1.100 or 192.168.2.1

2. When you get the login screen for your router try the following common default user name/ password combinations UN: admin PW: admin UN: admin PW: blank (I mean literally, leave it blank) PW only: blank

3. You're looking for a setting that says port forwarding, virtual servers, UPnP forwarding, or something similar. Bottom line is find a screen that looks like the one below, and enter the above settings in addition to your console's IP address. As you can see, my console's IP is 192.168.2.3






I hope I helped.

Silphonica, I'm going to rip this guide and give you credit in the Console and FAQ section if thats OK with you. Let me know if it is or isn't.

I will also be getting my old guide together as well very shortly here, seeing as people still need the advice, maybe two guides will help them understand.

CHECK MY SIG FOR A LINK FOR THE GUIDES

Yeah if you want.

You don't need to give me credit, I didn't write the full thing, only about half, just adapted the rest of it.
