Subject: halo 2 matchmaking not connecting

I can sign onto xbox live fine.. good connection, but when i go into matchmaking it takes very long on the 1st option (which is very unusual).. finally it continues to 2nd then 3rd and right when it says 'configuring game' it will put me back at 1.. it keeps doing this to me on every matchmaking game i try. wondering if anyone had any solutions or experienced this themselves?

Direct quote from XBox.com....

"We are currently experiencing issues with Voice Chat and Matchmaking. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

They know about it and are working to resolve it.

go to www.portforward.com n open up ur ports so there set to the halo ports. you'l find you'll get a better and more stable connection out of it also.. it will also fix ur troubles with connecting to ur friends anf there parties...

the instrutions are easy to follow even if u dont know much about computers... just find ur modem then find the link for the halo ports n follow the directions. should only take ya 10 or so mins to do...

thats only if you've got all the new updates n new maps n its not the maintence that they just did that is stuffing up for ya... if its one of them things then pening ur ports wont fix it....

easyest way to tell if its ur ports is to do i system test on ur xbox n it will show u what ur NAT settings are. if they come up reading 2 or 3 then thats ur problem....

need anymore help then just post here or PM me n i'll try n help ya out bro
