for about 1 year now i have been having problems with my network that basically randomly thru out a day disconnect me from online games. What happens is lets say im playing xbox live in a halo 3 match then randomly i get disconnected from xbox live but i can immedietly press the guide button and reconnect to xbox live. If you were on a pc browsing the internet u never see any lag or anything because its just some random disconnect that you only feel in a online game PC games and xbox live games. Now i more so am concerned with xbox live working well than the pc games so i have many times tried to open the ports on my xbox and place a static ip for it, iv done this right and many times to many xboxs but nothing works still disconnects me. I have updated the router firmware too, i have messed with this alot for about a year now and the only thing i have finally come to the conclusion with is that my router is the issue in some shape or form. By just troublshooting one area after another to where as long as the router is out of the solution im fine. I have a BEFSR41 v3 1.05 , so is there some option in the router settings that i just dont have set right or is this router just not working right now ? btw i have had this router since Dec 2003

I have the same problem it always disconects when I am on xbox. I think it might have to do with my signal being low but i don't know. Any help would be nice

I can't contribute to any help because i share your problems. I can play any game from Halo to call of duty to red faction, play maybe one match or less, and then get randomly disconnected. However i can go to the guide and reconnect within seconds. I have a motorola modem connected to a Wireless B router that i use to connect to my xbox via ethernet cable. My NAT is disabled and Ive just found no way to fix this problem. Help?

had similar issues with my ps3 I turned of UPNP in the router setting and that did the trick for me since only ps3 was having connection issues while all the other systerms and 2 comps were fine.

Call your ISP and ask for a new modem...

Seems like your modem is messed up.

Are you sure it is not the router?

stuff like that is usally caused by the router settings if its not broke. Especially if you have computers on the same router that work.

I cannot offer any advice as my friend suffers from the same issue, and we couldn't find how to fix it.

this just started happening to me and a buddy playing madden yesterday. tried 4 games, the eventual fix was to not be in a party or private chat.

I think i fixed the problem i had. I went into my linksys router settings, clicked the 'advanced' tab; clicked into the 'Port Forwarding' tab, and enabled 3 of my ext.ports that were disabled that my xbl uses. I tried playing online after i had done so and i played for about 2 hours without any disconnections.
