    Hi al,
    I'm having serious problems trying to play people on my friends lists. When I set up a lobby, certain players cannot join, and vice versa when I try to join their lobby. In particular, I can't seem to play Azza or Foamy.

    Anyone experiencing similar problems?

    Remember back in the day when you organized the 360 tourny... I played all my matches bar 1, as I could not connect to Retr0gamer. Just wasn't happening.

    It's a router issue afaik.

    Its usual the router settings blocking the player. I think it may be down to NAT settings.

    Run the xbox live test and see what results you get. Or load mw2 and go into the multiplayer menu. It tells you there what your nat type is. It should be open, not moderate or strict.

    Yeah i get that on my xbox too, can only connect to about 60% of people on my friends list. In the menu of modern warfare it says that my NAT is open so I don't see what the problem is.

    Yeah good idea. I followed the steps to open the NAT settings, but it doesn't say if it worked or not. Will try that tonight.

    I have my ps3 on a DMZ and it solved any connection issues (apart from weak wireless signal and other people on ps3 not on DMZ) for me, maybe try the same thing?

    I can never get into a match with Terry.
    I reckon your just scared of the terrible beating you'll suffer at my hands Tezza.

    I couldnt connect to Azza for a good while, but I went into my modem and resatred the connection all over, since then I've had no trouble connecting...

    Maybe try the same?
