    You need to open ports 88 and 3074 if you can.

    im guessing you have a netopia router? just set it to low and your NAT will be open, dont worry about it being set too low

    UDP 3074 on it's own normally.

    If the NAT doesn't open after that, open the other port.

    Set the firewall to low on router. Then set up custom services on the router and select the xbox live games. Really old eircom routers did not have this. Just go to expert mode and update firmware. Select the file and download to PC. Then do the update from this file (wired only to do this). That should work.

    If you are bridging over a PC connection then you will need to configure the ports to be allowed on your PC firewall settings also.
