2Wire: Cant receive game invites from anyone but people on friends list

The problem is not with friends. People on my friends list can invite me. People who are not on my list can send me messages but nothing else.

I suspect Misses Quinzel had a slight forgetful moment and meant to say that it's not affecting friends. You'll still want to run through her suggestions first before we can try other things.

Hey, Sloto!

Sorry to see any issues with game and party invites! Sometimes an outage can affect these, sometimes it can be network related. Since it's specifically affecting friends, it might be something else. Just to be sure, check out your
Xbox Settings to ensure your privacy settings have it set up to allow everyone to send you communications. (It's in the middle under Others can:.) I don't know what would cause
this, but it could be set to Block for some reason.

If that's not showing as blocked, first
remove your profile from your console. After that, I suggest changing everything you have in those settings linked above to allow or so everyone can see it. Be sure to hit Save after! Then change any settings you might have set up back
to what you have. Perform a quick power cycle on your console (hold the power button for 10 seconds), and then download your profile again. Have someone send you an invite and let us know how it goes!

This is definitely an odd situation. Hopefully that gets you sorted out, but we're happy to dig further with you if it doesn't.

Hi there EightZero3 you will not receive an invite from anyone on here, its recommended you ask people on your friends list(bound to be one in the preview program) for an invite. Head on over to the general discussion forums for a invite.

Hi there, my privacy settings do allow for invites from everyone. Could it be I need to forward the ports on my router and set a static IP? Or would a LAN cable connection eliminate any NAT type errors?
