Xbox Live Issues

[Lucifurr]

Hi All,

I seem to be having problems with Xbox live over the past couple of days. I have been playing online with EA FIFA World Cup game. I have not been able to finish a single match in the past couple of days without the game firstly disconnecting from EA Servers and then Xbox live disconnecting.

If I run a connection test immediately, the XBL part of the test fails. If I wait 2 minutes, I can connect back to XBL just fine. My ADSL router remains synched at all times during the incident and I can use the Internet fine on my PC.

Has anybody else come across this strange behaviour?

Hi toon_mad, thanks for replying.

I have tried just putting the Xbox in the DMZ of router so that the NAT wouldn't be strict. No joy I am afraid.

I have tried Xbox Live with any other games. The odd thing is disconnects always happen in the second half. If I just leave the Xbox idle, it stays connected.

lol, you could be right. I generally play as Northern Ireland and I have started beating teams like Spain and Argentina online. They must feel pretty humiliated.

I am away for the next day or so but when I get back, I will try a different router and see if that helps.
