Hi,

Hoping someone out there can help shed some light on issues I'm having with getting my friends into a 4 player private match.

When playing 2 player with my friend we connect fine every time (So I'm guessing NAT settings between us are ok?). But when we have another 2 friends online and try to connect to the same match, it just says 'no games available'. Strangely if its just 3 of us (any combination) then getting into a match is fine, but whenever there are 4 of us it seems to give the 'no games available message'. Yesterday It took us over an hour of everyone restarting routers, turning off and on the xbox etc to try and get a game yesterday.

Eventually we managed to connect by me and my first friend restarting our xboxs (is that the right plural for xbox?), leave the party we were in with the other two, start a lobby with just us then get the other 2 into the party and game. Weather that was what fixed it, or weather it was just blind luck is another thing.

Now I'm assuming it's not a game thing? But does anyone have any suggestions what to try? All other games we never have any connection or party issues between us (except for GR:FS as the servers seem a bit dodgy). When playing COD games, everyone has 'NAT Type: Open' displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Any help would be good, as there's nothing quite as satisfying as blowing up your friends using a bazooka wielding worm! But we could do without having to go through an hour or attempting to connect everytime.

Thanks
