Forza Horizon 3 dns error/ xbox app blocked server conectivity

Hi,

There are possible explanations as to why you can't play the game online. Here's the list of the common causes:

• Ongoing service alerts on Xbox Live
• Incorrect network configuration
• Windows Firewall is disabled
• Network hardware failure

Kindly answer the following questions and we'll advise the best approach in resolving this issue:

• What are the troubleshooting solutions you've performed?
• Have you made any changes to your device before encountering this issue?
• Is your device connected to a wired or a wireless network?
• Have you tried playing other games to check if the same instance occurs?

Sometimes, you can't connect online due to temporary network issues that can be resolved by performing a full power cycle on your device and network hardware. Refer to the following steps:

1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for five minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.
2. Restart your computer.
3. After five minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.
4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

We'll be waiting for your response. We'd be glad to provide you additional assistance.

Hi, my windows firewall is enabled and this is on a very fresh PC build less that 6 moths old. both me and my friend first experienced this issue about a month ago but we fixed it(terreddo problem) now all it shows in the Xbox app is server connectivity and
blocked next to it. I have tried all methods given by the link provided within the app under where it says blocked with no avail. I have only the one game through Microsoft all other games through steam work like clockwork and I have never had a problem.
I am using a wired connection and am able to play online in other games.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the update.

The next solution you'll need to perform is to open network ports using port forwarding. For your reference, see

Troubleshoot audio in parties and issues with multiplayer games on Windows 10. Look for
Open network ports using port forwarding and follow the steps provided.

Also, port forwarding is a sensitive networking configuration. Any mistakes may lead to network error. It would be best to get in touch with your internet service provider for in-depth assistance.

Notify us with the progress. We're here to clear things up.
