    A friend of mine and me were trying to chat over Live we only live about 20mins away from each other but for some reason it will never connect nor can we play a player match on PES6 the invite gets sent and recieved but when you agree to connect to the game or chat it never does. Any Ideas?:confused:

    Check is your NAT or his set to strict, that would explain the game not connecting at least.

    Burning Ecilpse and I used to have a problem inviting each other into games, but then it stopped. We have no idea why either! It was very strange, it took us ages to get into the same games.

    Had the same problem with a friend the other day.
    No idea why.
    Everything was working fine with everybody else, and we could play each other fine in Gears if somebody else hosted.
    We couldn't private chat or accept game invite though!:confused:

    Well Clank told me to check my NAT setting on my Xbox Live connection and sure enough the result was that I had a strict NAT. To fix the problem I had to allow incoming traffic into my routher this can be done in your router setting, to get to your router setting type in 198.162.1.1 (i think thats what it was) in your browser settings. Then in your router options click on your UPNP settings and then allow incoming traffic or whatever resembles this in your particular router settings.

    After I had done this I have tested my Live connection again and now the NAT result says that it is OPEN and not STRICT. NOw to be honest I havent tried the private chat or PES6 since but I'm sure this will resolve the problem as the NAT is basically the key to allowing external devices connect via your router. Lets hope this works for everyones gaming pleasure :)
