all i did is:
1. find you xbox's IP address
2. go to your router's web utility
3. go to the port forwarding section (for linksys: Applications & Gaming)
4. forward these ports to you xbox's IP address:
UPD 88
TCP 3074
UPD 3074
ps* there should be a section to select either TCP or UPD and a seperate section to enter the numbers, you will need two slots on the list, one for the UPD 88 and another for the other two...

Im having the same problem with my mates that live in the same village. I got myself a static IP address sorted but everytime I type my ip into the browser (Im with BT Yahoo in the UK) I get a quick start screen that just keeps refreshing itself for no apparent reason, this really is doing my head in as I cant get to the port forwarding section because of it =/

Okay well I've had some errors with this for quite some time. I've had some help before but none helped. I got my Xbox IP from the dash, then I entered it and it all went smooth, but I still couldn't join. So I go and check my Xbox's IP again, to double check everything, and it was different from last time. I never moved my Xbox or anything. So what do I do now?
