    I travel a lot for work so I'm in and out of hotels quite a bit. I brought my Xbox along with me this time because I wanted to enjoy Destiny when it's released tomorrow. When I got to the hotel, I did the "alternate mac address" trick to get the Xbox connected
    to the wireless since it won't automatically take you to the screen to accept the hotel's internet ToS.

    I tested both the network connection and the multiplayer connection through the Network Settings and it said everything was good to go. The NAT was listed as "moderate" with "all services available." Netflix, the friend's list, and most other apps work just
    fine. However, when I try to play a game online, it says there is no active internet connection. I've tried this with Titanfall, CoD, Diablo and have not had any luck.

    Does anyone know of a way I can get this to work? Or am I just going to have to wait a few weeks to actually be able to play Destiny?

    Thanks

    :)

    XBox One February Update - Multiplayer Bug with Alternative MAC Address

    Posted to the other thread, but in case someone who can help might stumble in here -

    Ok, here's an update. The system is behaving like it has been since February.

    Connected via wifi on laptop. Changed xbox to mirror laptops MAC address. System reset, connected to xbox live. Netflix, hbo go, etc, working properly.

    Titanfall - internet access not found

    Battlefield - unable to connect to network

    COD - cannot connect to xbox live

    All apps still running properly, party chat, friends lists, etc still work.

    Test Network Connection - "It's All Good"

    Test multiplayer connection - "It's All Good"

    Detailed network statistics

    Download - 8.16 Mbps

    Upload - 2.20 Mbps

    Packet loss - 1%

    Latency - 86 ms

    Wireless strength - 95%

    NAT type - moderate (never seen open at a hotel in 5 years using alternate Mac)

    "All Services Available"

    6 other pilots, 8 different hotels in the last 48 hours, all same result.

    HELP PLEASE.

    Are you using wired or wireless connections as they are problems with wireless settings and spoofed MAC adresses?!

    You may want to check out this thread here, as there is a workaround for the issue with the wireless connection and spoofed MAC adresses on hotel internet connections described:

    Can't play any online games, connected to xbox live though.

    Ever considered getting one of the many small travel routers to use in the hotel etc.? They are inexpensive and can connect to the hotel's wifi then provide your own personal hotspot. You then connect your laptop, phone, etc. to it to login/authenticate
    as is usually required by the hotel. You should then be able to connect the One to your travel router and get Internet without using alternate MAC to clone your phone etc. You will not be able to get open NAT but likely would not on a hotel network anyway,
    even without the double NAT created by the travel router.
