Newbie - connection problems
|
|
| Sumphucker 2006-11-19, 8:10 pm |
| I connect to any on line game and get disconnected after about 5 mins of on
line play. This happens on every game i try to play on line. Strange thing
is I an still connect to xbox live when I go back to the console. This is
getting annoying as I have yet to finish one game, of any kind, on line.
Also having problems accepting invites and vice versa. I'm sure the people I
have tried playing at Fifa07 today are getting a little pissed off with me
as the game seems to disconnect anywhere between 17 -23 mins whether im
winning, losing or drawing.
I have also played PGR on line over the last week, I have yet to complete a
race on line as I get kicked off after about 4-5 mins. Same with Saints Row,
Farcry and Table Tennis.
This is driving me nuts, after forking out almost £100 today ( as my 1 month
free subscription expired I have today purchased 12 months , as well as fifa
and a few other games) I cannot finish a game on Fifa because of this
problem.
Any help appriciated

| It would be very helpful to know how your Xbox 360 is connected to the
Internet. Are you using a router, wired, wireless? Describe your setup,
the Local Area Network setup, if you have one, and have you called your
local Xbox support line for assistance? They generally can walk you through
simple corrections "in-person" rather than attempting to draw out
information in a newsgroup. Also check: (your localized version, of
course) http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/c...360/default.htm

Hi Chris,
I have a 10meg broadband modem, NTL, connected through a Belkin router. All
works fine, downloading etc...
I can connect to online games it's just they seem to "trip out" after about
5 mins of play. I can almost reconnect to another game instantly as i never
lose my online xbox connection. It seems that in Fifa07 I lose connection to
the EA sports server, only to be reconnected again when i choose to try and
join another game.
I don't think it's my set up however this is happening in all the games i
try to play on line. Saints Row last night did the same thing and again i
did not have to re sing on to xbox live as i never lost the connection, just
got kicked out of the game.
Well weird...!!!
My PC also works fine all the time too and never loses connection, its
connected to the same router.
I'll give the Xbox support line a try tomorrow and if that don't work
possibly NTl however at 50p per min it isn't cheap.
Cheers
Kev.H

| They will be able to walk you through the setup, and make sure everything is
proper. Good luck with it!

| Go into your Network Page and Test your Network connection. It should ALL
say good, and at the bottom it will say OPEN, Closed, or something else.
You want it to say OPEN. If it doesn't you need to fix your Network. So
more info on your Hardware and setup, and what your results are and maybe
someone can help you. Are you using a Router? Plug your modem directly
into the 360 set it up correctly for that, and try again and see what type
of results you get. You just have to narrow down the possible problems to
see what's going on.

| Kev,
I had non-stop problems until I replaced my router with the FVS114 and
placed my XBOX in the netgear's DMZ. No problems since.
