360 kicks me out

[Ronnie-]

Ok, I have a problem.

I have two 360s, and I swap the hard drive instead of recovering the gamertag everytime.

One console lets me play every time. One lets me get to the matchmaking on Halo 3 and after the game finds matches, it returns me to the lobby every time. I though it was the wireless link, but I just swapped them, and it does it when connected with the ethernet cable also.

Any ideas? It is that console and that console only. Same disk, same hard drive, no matter if it is ethernet or wireless.

Beats me. I'd call MS. Their support is pretty decent.

Yeah, I guess that is my only option. No one on any board seems to have heard of this problem.
It is just odd. I can connect to live just fine. I can talk with friends, and download content. I can do everything fine. UNTIL it loads the game and map, then after a second it returns me to the lobby to start the matchmaking process again. Same disk, same hard drive, just a different machine.

Do you have any downloaded content for Halo 3?

A couple of map packs. Nothing else

Maybe has something to do with those map packs, if you didn't donwload them on the console having the issue? Grasping right now. Not sure what you're problem may be.

I guess that is possible. I did delete them, but it still does the same thing . I am pretty sure that some were downloaded on one, and some on the other however.

I will check tonight. I have honestly not tried.

It sounds like a router problem. Have you done a connection test to make sure you have an open NAT on both 360s?

I reset that box to factory settings, so everything should have been fine when I set it up again. It will connect to the net, and sign into xbox live, wired and wireless, it just wont go into the matches when played online. Everything else is fine though. You can play it in campaign mode, you can download and watch video, ect.

Do the connection test. See if the NAT test says "Open, Moderate, or Strict". If it is Moderate or Strict, that would be your problem.

More from Microsoft:

Will do when I get home.

Thanks for the tip
