Router Problem

[cjonesfan921]

Just got a new router, and hooked it up. Played online on Vegas and everything went fine, but when Sully, and others, sent invites it wouldn't join. What's the problem? I had to end up connecting straight from the modem. Anyone know how to fix this?

Do you have firewall enabled? Maybe its not letting the invite program through?

I have the NetGear Super G. I'm using it wired. Is there anyway to check if I have a firewall enabled?

Re: Router Problem

i have the same problem.. what i find i have to do is plug the xbox connection into the modem directly to get into the game (happens with r6 & sc).. this is even having the NAT open & the ports open on the computer that the 360 needs.. (luckily where my modem & my 360 is just a short distance)

Re: Router Problem

open a DMZ for your 360 ip in the router, that should fix it

Let's not forget, I am a complete idiot when it comes to this, so if you can please elaborate.

Re: Router Problem

you have to go into your routers settings, ip 192.168.?.? can't tell you where it is, but go to netgear's website and search the help file.

Re: Router Problem

I guess what I have to do is call Port Forwarding. Just a question, what should I choose as type? TCP/UDP , TCP, or just UDP?

That's if i'm doing it correctly.

Re: Router Problem

I joined other friend's request. But for some reason, can't connect with Sully when he is hosting.

Re: Router Problem

Bates, mgoblue, and skyboxer couldn't get into my game last night either. I think I'm done with trying to host. Of course, it could also be one of the numerous online issues with R6.

Re: Router Problem

funny thing was that last night was the first time in AGES that I was able to connect to a game via my router... bad thing is that it looks like once again I have to replace my 360 cause it makes a grinding noise when i shut it down..

Mine has been doing that a lot too. I'm glad I got the BB warranty. My router has been acting up recently as well. Every once in a while, I'll lose my internet connection and have to reset the router. I've only had it for a year, so I don't know what's up.
