I have been playing xbox live with my router for quite a long time now. Then i decide to restart the router because the internet was down(It was WOW) and i thought if i restarted the router it would let me go on better. All of a sudden i cant go on live ever since. if i plug my xbox straight into the modem it works perfectly fine and logs on without any problems. I have looked and looked through websites and different posts and found stuff but they didnt help me what so ever. Please help me ASAP i been wanting to go online and play some halo 3.

That sounds like you need to forward a port.

Check this page for how to do that:

i already forwarded my ports.

Ok...now my test for xbox live will pass the ip address...now it wont pass the xbox live part. It passes everything except for that and while it tests the xbox live part all of a sudden it says the network connection is disconnected!!

Edit: Thankyou soooo much for your help i figured it out!!!!
The UPNP option was enabled so i thought maybe if i disable it it will work and it did and the reason for that is that it was choking the connection maybe!?!?

First off, are you using wired ports for the xbox? (Sounds like it) If so, make sure your cable is ok. check the connection head and check for good connection between the wires and the end of the head. Make sure its not stripped, or the wires are exposed near the connector, etc. Try swapping out the cable to be safe.

Second, try another port. It could be that your port is giving way.

Third, try setting your Xbox as the DMZ.

You can do this by going into the advanced tab of your router interface, then click on DMZ on the left side. Click on enabled, then add the last octect of your Xbox IP address. You should be able to find this in your xbox live center, or through the client list in your router.

i.e. 192.168.0.123

click on apply.

The other way to accomplish a DMZ setup without using the DMZ feature is to just forward the entire port range for the IP address, this effectively accomplishes the same thing.

Hope that helps a little bit.
