omg COD 4...

Ok so i've tried every trick in the book to get this damn thing to work.

Every match i enter results in the same thing: I play for about 30 seconds, then i get booted from the game with the message "server connection timed out." I know for a fact that the problems I am having are not Xbox Live's fault, because none of my friends have this problem. I am running on a wired connection with a fixed IP addres through a router: that doesnt work. I hook up directly to the modem: that doesnt work. I try a wireless connection: that doesnt work. What else is there to do??

Please help!

yea, but i even tried it with the firewall turned off.

The last thing i can think to try is to get a new ethernet cable, maybe something is wrong with that ill try anything

Well you said that it happens on Wireless aswell so I don't think it will be your Ethernet Cable, is anything using the Internet at the same time as the 360?

ok, ill look into getting a new modem, but how does a modem affect xbox live?

Yes, im allowing all ports to run through my router. weirdalec222

it doesn't affect xbox live alone, but your internet altogether (if it's the same problem I had) it's not noticeable when you're constantly browsing. It is, however, noticeable when you are signed onto a messeging service such as Aim or MSN etc. Because it will log you off on its own about the same time you see that "server timed out" messege.
