Router Help? Computer Boffins?
I know there is a section, but im after a quick answer, for a quick fix..
Ever since i got a new router.. I turn my xbox on, go on fifa, (it happened with 12, thought it may be the disk, but is happening with 13 too) And i will go on online seasons, click to find opponent, and it will say disconnected from EA servers, then i go to the home screen, and i am disconnected from Xbox Live..
Once i connect and go into the game again, it plays fine, but its pissing me off now, having to load the game twice and such..
The xbox is connected with a network cable, so its nothing to do with wireless, although it is a wireless router, but my laptop runs fine with it..
The NAT type on the xbox is open, so its not like theres the firewall stopping it, otherwise it wouldnt work at all..
Any suggestions please?

I've noticed every 2 mins your on and off.... I know you say the NAT is showing as open, but have you tried going onto the router settings and making sure that the ethernet connection for the xbox is port forwarded? If all that is done, then try a different Ethernet cable mate.

Should have a DMZ option on your router that will allow a single IP to be set. Set the IP of the xbox to the DMZ and it will allow all types of traffic in and out.
Should solve all your problems.
If you use DHCP though and haven't reserved an IP for your xbox, you need to do that. Fairly simple to do on most routers, should have a reserve IP option and all you need is the MAC address of your xbox. Can find it in the network settings on the xbox or it will be listed in the connected devices on your router.

Yeah thats true, I had to DMZ my mates Xbox; even with PF done, it kept showing up with NAT errors. As Penn says though, make sure you static IP the xbox and then do it as you dont want to DMZ the whole network lol.

I was wondering why you were on and off all night.
As said above, get your Xbox IP in the DMZ and there'll be no restriction at all on your Xboxs connection!

Somewhere in your network settings (on the pc) It'll list all active connections (Make sure the xbox is on) Ylu should be able to find the ip address there.

When you log in click ob forwarding and then virtual server and add.
Open UDP port 88
.Service Port: 88
IP Address: the IP address of your Xbox.
Protocol: UDP
Status Enable
Then you want to add again
Open TCP/UDP port 3074
.Service*Port: 3074
IP Address: the IP address of your Xbox.
Protocol: ALL
Status: Enable
Save and resey your router.
Then check the Xbox section on here!

He's already tried port forwarding, didn't work.
Did setting the xbox as the DMZ server solve your issues?
