Not sure if anybody else has had this weird problem, I can connect to Live fine on my 360, and download stuff, but when it comes to multiplayer, Halo, RE5 or whatever, it searches for players but doesn't find them, or if it does find them I leave the game just when it's starting. Any ideas?

I don't know much about these things, I've got UPNP enabled on my router so presumably it's not a ports issue. I'd have thought that if I can connect to Live then I should be able to get a game? NAT is enabled too.

How many computers, consoles etc do you have connected to your router/modem?

Sometimes my PC too, sometimes other devicies, often none, doesn't seem to be a pattern as far as that is concerned. Maybe I should start opening ports etc.

Doubt it, it's 23MB and I can play PS3 online multiplayer fine, while my GF plays wow at the same time.

lol my mate has the same problem and it only happened to him recently too - so are there any games you can play online? my guess is that your hardrive is faulty. Either you switched the xbox off while it was saving a game or something similar to the same extent. If you still have a warrenty on your 360 then use it quick.

Hmm what makes you suggest the hard disk? Is that what it was with your chum? It's not the first thing that springs to mind for me, none of my game saves are affected. I've tried Halo 3, Saints Row 2 and RE5 so far, similar problems with each.
