Ya I'm getting the exact same thing..Somebody said that it was because the game had started by the time I tried to join. I was able to host up a room no problem though.

Best way to avoid it is to make sure you are trying to join matches that already have 6/8 or 7/8 in them. Usually I get that message it's because that match is full by the time I try to join. I've been joining 4/8 and 5/8 matches easily with no problems as of yet.

Getting this as well error as well. 9 times out of the 10 games I try to go into.
I'm thinking it's a problem with needing to open ports on my router specifically for GoW.

These adjustments to my router seemed to have fixed the problem.

Off xbox.com's 360 support page:

Im having the same problem, guessing its a router problem? Im going to try opening those ports up when i get home.

I wasn't initially able to connect with a friend for coop last evening. Just through coincidence, earlier I had been reading the COD3 manual, and in it, I remembered reading that for Live play, they highly recommended not using a router, unless you enabled something or another. So my friend disconnected his router, and then we were able to connect. I don't know if this is coincidence or not, because earlier, without the games even in, we weren't able to set up a private chat room, so there might have been other issues going that we weren't aware of. But after he did that with his router, (I still had mine connected btw) everything was peachy keen.

I get this problem endlessly with Splinet Cell and no router.

do anyone have the issue with voice?? seems like when my friend hosts a player match if everyone comes in at once it's great... but room fills up and someone leaves person that comes in we can't hear... but from what i've been told they can hear us... anyone else getting this?

Im getting this error around 80-90% of the time as well. Major pain! Someone has got to figure out how to resolve this, eh? SheriffDane

Ya, make sure you go into custom and not quick match. Then when it pops up saying it's searching for games, hit X (refresh) once or twice and it'll display the games that it's found so far...Join one of those. I can join those games at least 90% of the time.

I'm gonna have to try the XX trick, because my console is connected directly to my modem and I lose host ~90% of the time, too. Frustrating.
I was playing a multi-match yesterday, and right as I was about to shotgun a guy in the head to win my first round EVER, *boob* lost the connection.

unclepauly · « **Reply #11 on:** November 19, 2006, 08:37:00 PM »

I'm hooked up directly the my cable modem and get the same thing. First 5 matches no problem, then ever since I get it 95% of the time. I'm lucky to even play multi, this is ruining my experience.

that happens to me when i tried to play ranked games. i did mange to get a few games in looking for games that had 5/8 or 6/8 people in it. try joining these games and you should be able to play.

xboxSlayer · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2006, 12:55:00 AM »

I havn't been able to connect once since I got the game, not even to get the game update. I'll try opening the ports listed earlier and see if that helps.

i called MS for support on this issue, they said it mostly like has to do (in my case) that I am using Vonage, the Voice over IP. they said that vonage reserves a certain amount of bandwidth for the phone. So for those who have the internet phone, that might be your problem
