this game is starting to really tick me off just latley :evil::evil:

Might be the host mate,

Its a different host now so that could be the problem. Issues with NAT settings etc. You want in? i'll see if tudorp can host instead.

This happens to me when I try to connect with certain people, it just doesn't work. I think it's got to be my NAT settings or something.

thanks guys does anyone know how to set the nat settings properly?? ive got a netgear router and im on sky broadband ???

any advice
thanks dazz

On the dashboard go to system settings/network setting/test XBL connection.


During the process you'll see it connect from your xbox360-router/modem-internet-XBL


Now, between the router/modem-XBL connection if you see a yellow triangle then it means theirs a problem with your NAT settings. If you dont see it then your NAT settings are fine.

To change NAT settings......

Its complicated, it involves going into your router and opening some ports. This should help -

And if you need help forwarding ports for your make of router, you can go to www.portforward.com

I had the same problem about a year back. Its definatly your router causing it. Ask me if you need more help man, we will get it fixed for you. :)

ok tryd that no yellow triangle ? im gonna have a look at that link anyway and see what if anything i can change to improve my chances of getting into a game

thanks FOZ :grin:

Mate if theirs no triangle then your NAT settings are open and your good to play online :)

Mine is the same, but every now and again i have issues connecting to someone online. Its just one of those things. I wouldnt bother with that link now, you might end up causing some damage that could seriously screw up your connection to live lol.

hmm yea i think your right foz noing my luck ill manage to find the selfdestruct button for sure oh well guess ill have to stick to a few games of fpdr till i call it a night

Chances are it was just a dicky connection to someone in the room. Theirs always one haha. Usually resetting everything helps, but takes a few minutes and its just annoying.
