my friend and I are both using routers and can't join each others' parties due to networking problems..... is there some way we have to configure our routers to connect smoothly or are we just screwed in general?

RIP Halo 2.

Put your Xbox in the DMZ of your router, problem solved.

It has something to do with NAT settings, but I don't know how to fix that. Sorry.

Consult your router's manual.

Gee, you're cool. I bet you have a whole bunch of friends and we should idolise you because you mock people over the internet. What's wrong with asking a legitimate question about a video game? Go learn some respect, you ignorant, little American.

Just to clear things up, what is a domb ass? I couldn't understand your [horrible] use of the English Language.
Higher Rank? Does it really mean anything? Does the fact I was legit 37 before the rank resets mean anything? What's your GT and we can go 1v1 (Your Host).

LEAD WITH CONVICTION

Don't pay attention to anything anybody else has said...this is how you check your now settings. Go to this website if you have a regular xbox: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox/connecti onmethods/diagnosingconnections.htm

If you have a 360 go to your dashboard and click the right until you get to the last menu. Then scroll down to network settings and hit test connection. It will test it and your NAT settings will be at the bottom. Which will be, "open, moderate, or strict". You want it to be open. What is happening with your friends is, your NAT settings are set right. If you are open, and your friend isn't...you can't join. You can look at your router manual and find a numbered website in there. That will allow you to change settings to your router. It normally starts with 168. Make sure you have the most recent firmware downloaded as well which you will find when you get to that website for your router. If you have further problems you can contact your ISP and they should be able to change. I would advise the rest of your friends check there NAT settings too so you know who prolem one is.
