Cannot connect to certian friends

Mapman2 · Mar 14, 2015

Hi , please can someone help me with this.

I cannot to connect to some of my friends on xbox live. I have 2 xboxes at different houses , on one of them i can connetct to this person the other i cant.

My main xbox box uses the home wireless and other devices use it with no issues. I have connetced to these friends once or twice but it just stopped and now only works on my other xbox which i only have access to at certian times.

I cannt see any reason for this. As far as i can see both xboxes are set up the same, nothing changed from out of the box.

I have seen a few posts about router settings but i dont really want to mess with this too much as i dont want to affect any other device which uses it. I dont understand why it just stops connetcing to one person and all others remain ok.

Nothing is set to private and as far as i know the other persons xbox has the same settings as mine.

I would be grateful of any suggestions because it is really getting frustrating.

Thank You

:)

Have you tried doing an Xbox Live connection test? That's what I usually do when this sort of things happen. Also, have you tried disconnecting your router and modem for like 30 seconds? All that does is unplug it and plug it back in. Do one at a time though.
That sometimes helps.

Aside from that, I have no idea, that's what I usually do when I have connection problems.

Another thing I have notice is that the newer controllers display that there is a mic connected to them when there isn't. I think it may have to do with the old wired headset but that was ages ago and I recently seemed to run into this issue to which I haven't
in the past.

Have you checked your antivirus, it could block certian apps

Thank you for the quick response!

I am not at my Xbox at the moment, but I performed a Connection Test yesterday, and the test showed no errors, and reported no NAT issues. My friend is online right now, he has an Open NAT as well.

I checked out the link you provided, and it seems my modem (Comtrend 5071T) is not listed in the Networking Hardware list. I wonder if maybe I just need to get an updated modem from my ISP...

Also of interest, I realized that our Internet service is of the PPPoE variety, which everything has been set up correctly on the modem. But I was curious, do I need to transfer all of the PPPoE settings to the router as well? I thought maybe that would
be interfering with the connection issue as well.

Thanks for all the help!
