i keep trying to host a ranked game, but every time i try it tells me to check my firewall settings, but when i do on the online modem server, it seems ok. Can anyone help?
Go to the system blade of your 360, then Network. Run the connection test and note whether it says strict, moderate or open, for the last item, NAT. It will probably say strict. This is because your router or modem isn't passing traffic to the 360 on ports that need to be open. Go into your router's settings and either use port forwarding (ports 88, 2074 and 3074, both UDP and TCPIP) or configure the 360 to request a static IP (or configure the router to assign the 360's MAC a static IP) and then place that IP in your router's DMZ.
