i have the same problem also. my solution withut actually fixing anything is....

a) go out of pregame n join from menu that seems to work for me 80% of the time....

b) or start up a custom, invite ur friends. once they've joined "end game" n go to MM....

both of those work for me. i use a) if i'm joining sum1 n b) if ppl are tryin to join me....


also it apprently has something to do with ur portfordwardin address(i'll serch my saved threads n post up what i find for ya) i couldnt figure it out coz i'm not that technically minded so i just do a) n b) n they work fine for me=)

i'll get back to ya in a tick, i'll PM u so i dont double post n get this locked on ya bro

I want her...

does it say they are having network problems at the time and to please try again later? because if it does it usually means is a NAT problem and you just have to enable port forwarding on your router

apparently it has sumfin to do with everyone downloading the bioshock demo seeing as its pretty popular n everyone's downloading it so its slowing down xbl or sumfin like that(its only a rumour as far as i know but mayb it is true)... all i've found that has worked for me is what i posted up near the top of this page^^^ steeps a or b
