Can someone help I can’t connect to my friend or play games but can connect to everyone else

Hello Saucey67,

We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns an inability to connect with a friend through Xbox Live.

Our suggestion here, please attempt following our Xbox One networking NAT errorsupport article for various steps to try
in order to resolve this case. If the steps are taken, and if you're still unable to connect with this friend, this may have to do with your friend's connection where they can attempt these steps as well. Try this out for us and then let us know the results.

Best wishes!

I have the same issue the reason is bandwidth, see your friends may have better bandwidth than you so sometimes you cant conect to your friends.

I am having this same issue. And port forwarding did not work. My friend and his brother share the same console and i cant play with either of them. Is this a console thing or a live thing

Thanks for responding. Both of our NAT types are open and the problem still occurs.

This could be a nat type issue its your connection to that person
