    Yesterday I got a wireless adaptor after using an ethernet for the last few month without any trouble finding a game.Today when I tried to play all i got was that it found X/50 games but it just left it at that.When I join my friends in session though the game plays perfectly.I'v tried other games too just to make sure and they played grand.Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do?

    One question I'd have is what your NAT status is before you go into finding a game?

    Any idea why the NAT changes? Mine regularly changes from open to mod to strict.

    that's weird, based on my understanding. I thought it was either on or off, set on the router..

    On the PS3 it has to be set on the router & the PS3

    It could be a change in the ip address, do othr consoles connect to the router?

    Mine is on xbox.
    My mate plays it on PS3 beside me on occasions. We have NTL wireless internet 10mb \ tv package, although I connect mine straight to the router via a cable as it doesnt work with the wireless receiver (did in my old house :()

    Sometimes unplugging the router and restarting the xbox reopens the NAT

    Yup that will reopen it , or if you type in your ip in the addy bar and go to advanced settings you can config your nat settings as you please.
