Live connection problem

munkyfunk · 21 Mar 2006 at 18:46

I can connect to live and download files, but can't play games. For example, on burnout revenge, it says " a game with this name already exists" then it kicks me back to the main menu. I've set all my ports and even set a DMZ but still I can't play games. I'm using a netgear DG834Gv2 on btbroadband.
Any help would be appreciated.

take it u do have a gold membership?

Yes

It's very strange, takes me through all the terms and conditions, then kicks me off.
Stranger still is the fact that I CAN play PGR3 in online career mode

Forgot to say, PSP works fine online, so does the DS playing Mario Kart, even accessing the friends list.

Have you run the network tests on the 360? What does your NAT show up as? Does it pass all the other tests?

munkyfunk · 22 Mar 2006 at 16:42

NAT is open and all tests report OK

heh how odd

tried resetting the console?

munkyfunk · 22 Mar 2006 at 18:20

I'll try that later, worth a shot.

munkyfunk · 22 Mar 2006 at 18:33

Hmmmmmm how do I reset the 360?
The only menu I can find is to re-run the initial setup, but that still keeps various other settings activated.

Aye doesnt sound like a problem your end to be honest...

Odd one though...

Dont know how stopping the pirates works with 360, but in computer terms it sounds like say someone has your CD key.. but in 360 terms.. :confused:

It's not just on the one game though.
Happens on PGR ( online career is OK, other online modes i get kicked)
Gauntlet is OK, Fight Night I get kicked even though I go through accepting all their terms and conditions, and Burnout works the same as Fight Night.
