I'm getting so sick of this. Very frequently while I play Halo 3, my XBL randomly disconnects. At first, I thought it was just my modem, because it sometimes resets itself for no reason, but I ruled out that possibility by noticing that every time my XBL went out, my internet through the computer would remain intact, nor did my Modem reset itself.

Now, you're probably wondering why I'm posting this on a Halo 3 forum. It's because the only time it does these random XBL ONLY disconnections, it has only happened on Halo 3. And from talking to some of my XBL buddies, they have sometimes had this problem, also through Halo 3.

I've lost 10 EXP because of these random bull-blam!- disconnections, and I'm getting tired of it. If there is anyone else on this forum who has had this problem, or anything similar to it, PLEASE RESPOND.

Thanks for any help in advance.

The enemy of my enemy shall die next.

I know the voices in my head are not real, but they have some great ideas.

Brown chicken Brown cow!

I have had this problem onceso far last night. Thankfully it was while it was searching for a match and not during one.

Another problem, or whatever, I have encountered is Halo 3 telling me my Nat is not open when it clearly is. I did a check after it told me it wasnt open and my 360 told me it was open.

Hopefully it is just something that will get sorted out with the updates that Bungie are working on.

I hope so. I'm tired of me taking longer to gain my ranks because XBL goes out due to complications that aren't my doing.

Btw, I got my number of EXP lost wrong. It's 16, not 10.

I have the same thing happen to me, I've lost 14 exp. I wouldn't rule out the modem though, what kind is it? and have you tried playing halo on live through a friends connection?

It's a Westell Wirespeed. I know that it's messed up, but lately I haven't had a problem with it, and I know when the modem is messing up the connection because it resets itself. But when XBL goes out, the modem does not. Neither does my computer's internet, which is also hooked to the same modem. (Obviously.) Besides, with the amount of people who've also had random XBL-Only disconnections, I've pretty much figured it out for a fact that my modem isn't contributing to these random connection errors.

And yes, I have played at a friends house. We got disconnected 5 times in one sitting.
