Weirded out
Instead of typing in the URL to get to this site and submit that last post, I googled my own name; and was shocked to see that the second link on Google for my name is a Youtube video of, apparently myself getting shot in the butt with a paintball gun!?!? I don't remember that happening! I don't know those people... Freaky....... !
How to fix Xbox Live so I can chat with and join games with Ben
I keep having this problem, where Ben and I can't connect to each other's games, or connect to audio chat on Xbox live. To fix it:
The problem is that you need to get "NAT" to show up as "Open" instead of "Moderate" or "Strict" when you run the Xbox 360 network test. If you can get that, it's fixed.
Ports 88 and 3074 need to be getting forwarded to the Xbox 360 IP address. I had fixed this before, but started seeing the problem again after the Xbox IP address changed and the ports were getting forwarded to the old address. That's why I'm writing this blog entry.
However, when I tried to fix it, I set the Xbox IP to be a static address. That didn't work out. Just keep the Xbox network settings at "Automatic" and update the router to forward the ports to the new address instead.
That should work!
