"Xbox connection help please"

Well as some of you might have read on the general forum. I am constantly getting kicked from call of duty online matches. It is very annoying and I am hoping there may be a fix. My xbox is connected via cable from my router. Any ideas? Thank

Hey again Emmie87

Thanks for your call earlier, my colleague told me the make and model of your Router, so for anybody else that wants to help out have a bit more information!

3com Router

I will have a read through myself and see if there is anything obvious I can suggest.

I dont know how to find out all my line details lol (i know i am useless)

the weird thing is - i was playing it late last night and never got kicked, then this morning and didnt get kicked. Could it be something to do with my current IP and peak time gaming?

That sounds like you've lost your network connection! :¬P

I refer you to my first post...

The message i get is;
"Network Connection Lost"

Right, so i tested my connection, it never flagged an issue and said everything is fine, i am connected to xbox live etc etc.

Play COD4 - half way through the first game and i get kicked out, "error connecting to the network"

I am booted off Xbox Live but then if i try re-connect it is fine until i go play again and get kicked off.

Any ideas as to what could be happening, not NAT issues were shown on Xbox when testing connection, it let had no hazzard sign or anything. Could it be my Internet provider???

It is really annoying now and i am getting stressed with it lol

lol, cool. I will try and get it sorted when i get home and if it works then i am very thankful! It gets so annoying going online and getting kicked out of each game.

Hah, same date as I got too.

NAT settings certainly seem to make a difference though.

ok, looks like i got some things to try, i am going to be connected with Freeola on the 28th (so they tell me)

I will post the details if i am having difficulty after trying the NAT thing, it seems weird that it is only Call of Duty that normally does it. Thanks for the help and i will let you know how i get on tonight!

Also - when running the test to check NAT it won't tell you it is open it will simply complete the test. It will only flag up if your NAT is moderate or strict.

Might also be worth checking out your NAT type. It may be set to strict which caused me to be kicked out of a lot of games - really frustrating when you're winning.

Check nat by doing a 'test xbox live connection' from the system tab after pressing the guide button. If it comes up moderate or strict Id suggest opening the required ports on your router.

You'll get a step by step guide on port forward Just select your router from the list and then xbox live 360.
