[tony888]

I got virgin 10mb but everytime i play COD4 i alway low connection just 1 bar. sometime it goes up by 1 bar for a sec. anyone else having this problem?

 

[Oj2k4]

wireless connection or wired? More information could be helpful in determining what the problem is tbh

 

[tony888]

woops yeah sorry forgot to add that its wired. I tried turning off the router for 30 seconds but I still get the same problem

 

[Whappers]

ports?

 

[rojones]

As above. Try making sure these ports are opened on you're router.

The following ports must be available to your Xbox 360 console for Xbox LIVE to operate correctly:

* TCP 80
* UDP 88
* UDP 3074
* TCP 3074
* UDP 53
* TCP 53

i tried opening up the ports but it says I need a static ip address. i've got a netgear WGR614v9

run the connection wizard on the 360 and see if it kicks anything back, can't imagine strict/moderate Nat being the problem here though

nope tried that no problem there. managed to open up the ports listed above but for some reason its not letting me open * UDP 3074 but i try again tonight and see how the connection is on COD4.

Ive got a netgear but a different model, so i assume you set the ports up as Services 1st and then add them in to the Firewall to be opened to an ip address or range of address's.

If this is the case, maybe that 3074 port has already been defined as a service of some sort and you should be able to find it in the drop down menu of service's (ports) in the firewall when you add an entry. I had a similar thing with the 53 port as it was already defined as a service.
