Network error?

[i AwoN i]

:xmastalk:I looked it up on bungie it said this can either be caused by accidentally muting my friend or simply our IPs clash or something? WTF! Because I can't join so many people in the clans parties and it's really inconvinient

[Hunter501]

I forget how to solve that, you mean you are trying to sign up for Bungie.net?

[i AwoN i]

No I mean I try to join someones party on my FL and it says "You cant join this because we are gay and have network problems" but it happens with more than 2/3 the people on my FL. I went to bungie and searched network problem and all it said was to check if I muted the peoples parties I cant join but I dont mute so that cant be it.

Check your connection, make sure it is okay. When I have that problem, usually my connection would be horrible and my 360 would freeze

[i AwoN i]

My connection is fine, I'm almost always green bar and can only not join certain peoples parties. I cant join carcass tidalwave and a few others that I forget, but I can join other peoples parties fine. If I want to join a party with carcass or tidalwave I have to get a middle man to send the invites then leave, it's really annoying.

[Hunter501]

Ask them if their connection is all right, I'm trying to figure a solution

[i AwoN i]

Yeah everyones connection is fine but for some reason it just wont let me join when certain people have party leader and I cant find a way to fix it, it's getting really friggin annoying.

The thing I did was turned off my 360 real quick, turned it back on, and I could join the party. Try and see if it works

Here we go, try this




The problem is caused by something called NAT settings. NAT can be set to Strict, Moderate, or Open. XBOX Live network problems are caused when a person with strict or moderate NAT settings tries to join another person with strict or moderate settings. In order to fix this, you have to enable a few ports on your computer, namely ports 3074, 80, and 88:

Go to your router control panel. Depending on what router you have, you will access your router control panel differently. If you have a Linksys WRT4G (which causes the majority of these problems), you will type http://192.168.1.1/ (called the IP address) into the address bar, and hit enter. You will need a user name and password. The defaults are admin/admin for the Linksys WRT4G.

If you have a different router, the default passwords can be found on the internet. Different routers also require different IP addresses. Your router's IP address can be found by doing the following: Go to Start, then click Run. Type cmd and when the box comes up, type ipconfig. Look for the IP address listed under "Default Gateway" and use that in place of the IP address I provided above.

Once you have accessed your router's control panel, you need to open up some ports. Look for something (usually under the Applications and Gaming tab) called "Port Range Forward." On the first line, type 3074 for Start and End, select "Both" for the protocol, and check "Enable." Also, for the IP address listed, you will need to find your XBOX's IP address and enter it there (you may need to enter manual settings in this step. If you are not sure how to do this, call XBOX Live and ask them to help with this.) Repeat these steps two more times on the lines below, replacing 3074 with 80 and 88. Make sure you save these settings.

Lastly, go to Administration in your router control panel and disable UPnP. That's it!
