I couldn't find any matches...what's the deal? Anyone know of something I may be doing wrong?
If your NAT settings are on Moderate then it can take a long time to find a match. Before I fixed my settings, it would take me 5+ minutes to get a match.
I know you used to be able to check the Xbox 360 NAT setting under the Network Settings if you ran the "Test Xbox LIVE Connection", but with the new NXE Dashboard, I dont see that anymore... You can still test the connection, but it doesnt show you the NAT setting.I looked around, but couldnt find it anywhere. If someone finds it let me know LOL.
But the way you used to be able to do it (with the old Dashboard) was run "Test Xbox LIVE Connection" and it would just show you if the NAT was "Strict", "Moderate", or "Open". The key was to get it to say "Open" if it didnt already and you would have to go into your router and do some port fowarding.
Either way, if you want the best network settings, you should go into your router and foward port 88 and 3074 to the IP address of your Xbox 360.
I honestly dont think you can see the NAT setting on the 360 anymore, but if I'm wrong about that please let me know!
Is there any chance of an explanation on how to forward these ports and how to get hold of the IP adress of the 360?? Might seem abit noobish but i realy have no idea.
Cheers

What router do you have? (Make and Model number please)
I hate the long wait.. I was playing with Mob a little earlier we would wait 5 minutes to find a game then when we finally get into the match our team would quit. Playing King of the Hill with 2 people is kind of hard.

You need to get the IP address of your 360 through the network settings of your home network. Once you have that number , you log into your router (in my case, I use Internet Explorer), type in your password, and access the "applications and gaming" section of your router's settings. From there, you enter the port numbers that you want forwarded to the IP address of your Xbox 360, and click the box making this function "enabled". Then boom... you're done.

Even when you are as pro as Mob and myself.
I've gotten 100 times better since then. We need to play again. Maybe some wingman would be fun?
Online?
