    360 'Cannot Connect to Host'

    Well, I've had this issue before with COD4, but some fiddling fixed the problem for the most part. I can't seem to join any games as it gives me the 'Cannot Connect to Host' error, so I figured I would post a Question since setting up my router and DMZ didn't work. Basically, using a linksys wireless-g router and my 360 is using the Microsoft wireless piece. It's starting to get rather frustrating, I appreciate any ideas/help on the issue.

    As of late 4/5 times I start my 360 the games never start. It always puts me at the dashboard. Most of the time it doesn't even acknowledge there is a disk in the tray. What's ironic is the only games I play on it are CoD 4 and FFXI.

    I don't have any ideas on what the problem could be or how to fix it. Just wanted to say I too have the same problems and I can empathize on how frustrating it is.

    Well, I solved the problem today after some debugging and reading. If you've got a linksys router, set your 360 manually to an IP that the DHCP won't hit. In my case it starts at XXX.XXX.X.100 and goes up 50 to XXX.XXX.X.150. If you've got a PC on the network it will most likely hit the lower end of that range, but if it's in the range it'll give you a few issues with your 360. Also, you'll need to port forward ports 88 (UDP) and 3074 (UDP/TCP) save any changes and restart your router. Restart your 360, run an XBOX Live test and your NAT should be 'Open'. D: Ugh, I had to read more than I care about for wireless networking.
