Don't do DMZ.

Follow these instructions.

That being said, my NAT is at moderate and I can play Halo 3 over Live just fine.

Looking back over the port forwarding thing, heres my router and the ports down the bottom of the page, just making sure, where it says "private IP" thats the IP of my 360 right?

Thanks but i have already port forwarded (forgot to mention) and i can play on live fine but cant play with friend.

its most likely a problem at your friends end then if you connect to him

i had the same issue but turns out my NAT was set to strict, now i can join most of my friends parties. it's probably your friends network, make sure he sets his to open also.

step 1: Buy a Linksys Router
step 2: Enjoy an open NAT

seriously though

-go on your PC and get the gateway and DNS numbers that your pc is using (got to command prompt and type "ipconfig /all")
-go to your router and find out what the DHCP range is.
-go to your xbox 360 and setup a static IP OUTSIDE of the DHCP range, that no other computer is using.
-set the DNS/Gateway, etc. based on the setting you grabbed from your PC
-go into your router settings and setup porforwarding to the Static IP you chose for your Xbox and forward port 88 and 3074 UDP and TCP to that IP.

Done...

If your router doesn't support port forwarding... get something that isn't a Piece of Sh*t
If your DHCP IP range takes the entire IP range leaving you no room for a static IP then set the DHCP range to something smaller (as long as it's big enough to handle the max number of computers you're connecting through that router you should be fine... something tells me it's less than 250  laugh.gif )
