Nat Type, not able to connect to party

You need to change your NAT type to something that will work with your friends NAT type. A temporary fix for this is having someone that both you and your friend can connect to in a party host one. Then tell your friend to join him as you do. You should
be able to connect to the host and talk to each other. But you still will not be able to directly connect to each other until you change your NAT type. Hopefully this helps, good luck!

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, a fellow gamer. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

Kindly try to check your NAT type on your Xbox One console, here's how:

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings.

Under Current Network Status, the NAT Type field displays your current NAT type.

You need your NAT type to be Open to resolve this issue. You also want to be sure there are no errors such as Double NAT detected or UPnP not successful displayed.

Please let me know which NAT type is showing on your console.

Your NAT type determines whether you can successfully use multiplayer gaming or party chat. The table below illustrates the differences between the NAT types and, based on your NAT type, who you can play multiplayer games with and hear in a party chat.

Open NAT: You're able to play and host multiplayer games with people who have any NAT type on their network.

Moderate NAT: You might not be able to play multiplayer games with some people, and normally you won't be chosen as the host of a match.

Strict NAT: You're only able to play multiplayer games with people who have an OPEN NAT type. You can't be chosen as the host of a match.

Unavailable NAT: If NAT is unavailable, you’ll be unable to use party chat or connect to multiplayer games for some Xbox titles.

my NAT type used to be moderate and every other device I had worked flawlessly (PC, mobile phones, on demand TV, tablets etc) then we changed our ISP and now my NAT type is open.

but even when I had a moderate NAT type, I was still able to connect to parties and play online and it didn't really have any effect on my gaming
