    Lads i'm having problems connecting to play Gilberto tonight in our match, everytime we tried to connect, Game session no longer available appeared, now i'm guessing this is my fault cos i tried to set up a friendly the other night with pudsy i think and got the same problem.

    I dont know whats happening is cos i can play Fifa 14 no problem, i just glanced onto other forums and it said it could be an EA fault, i dont know

    anybody any clue what i can do :confused:

    Restart your router and xbox, make sure xbox is wired to the router and try again, after that I've no idea.

    I'm using wireless and never had a problem until now, could wireless be the problem?

    Here is what you do. Go to your connection settings, select the connection you use, and select return to factory setting. Reconnect and everything will work :) madalig can testify

    We should stick the above advice in a sticky, I guarantee it works.

    xbox, go into your network settings and you'll see a list of all available networks. Select the one you're using, find restore to factory defaults, and then reconnect.

  • Registered Users Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    Did you try the thing? That sounds needlessly complicated.

    I did and this is the message im getting, problem is i can connect to xbox live but i may not be able to play certain games or chat because a port 3074 on the router isnt open

    I think i need to ring eircom, which is pretty pointless at this hour, will keep at it and keep trying.

    My NAT type is moderate on the router is moderate, this causes problems with multiplayer games and chat

    I had a bit of trouble with it too on Eircom mate but I just lowered the firewall security on my router to get the NAT to open and it worked like a charm.

    To do that, just click the link below, select firewall on the left hand side, and then select low:

    http://192.168.1.254/

    A couple of mates did the same and it worked for them too. We never have connection issues any more.

    If it's the eircom zyxel one this is what I did a few years ago http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ZyXEL/P-660HW-D1/Xbox_Live_360.html
