Hi, recently I have been having problems with xbox live dropping out in the middle of games. Its not a total drop out, but enough to kick me off games and to eventually sign out of live.
Our setup is as follows:
modem (250 'ntl') -> belkin / unamed router -> high speed switch (using cat5 cable) -> high speed switch (using cat5)
The trouble started just after virgin took over, we previously had problems with NAT being strict but that as a problem with the belkin router and was solved by turning upnp off and on again, and has been completly solved by putting a different router in (un-named but seems to handle our network better).
Friday we had a bit of a lan party so moved our 360's into the living room and plugged it stright into the router, but the problem persists.
We are assuming that this is a problem with virgin media, either the cable modem or the actual service we are receiving. We are on the 10mbit package (very soon to be upgraded to 20mbit).
We have ruled out as much of our hardware as possible, and the error occurs on all the consoles we have tried.
One weird thing was that when we were playing together there were some occasions when only one of us were kicked off, although most of the time we were kicked simultaneously.
[wow this is a long post]
Does anyone have any idea what we can do to remedy this? It is getting annoying as you get penalised for leaving games in halo 3 beta (:p)
Thank you,
