Maybe if you'd change the subject of your thread you'd get more responses... (I only accidentally clicked this thread). I'm no networking expert, but I'll try to help.

l I don't think your NAT settings will cause you to get disconnected. NAT usually is responsible for causing problems with finding other people's games or hearing other people sometimes. If your NAT is open, that won't give you any problems.

If you are getting disconnected often, it could be a problem with your ISP or your network setup. More information (such as your ISP, router/gateway, how you connect to it, etc.) there would allow us to help you more.

How do you connect to XBOX Live? Directly, using wireless, through a router, or through a computer?
Telling us how your connection is set up might drastically help us figure your problem out.

The first thing that comes to mind is that something else on your network is using up all your internets.
But I'm not exactly an expert on this subject.

I'll ask, though, how is your connection quality during games (besides when you lose connection)?

its absolutely perfect. no lag watso ever. and even when i do co-op campiagn with my friends (even thuogh im not party leader all the time) i always get master chief.

i dont know if getting him has anything to do with whoever has th best connection or if its random...

anyway yea its perfect, and in other games lyk DOA4 (coz i dont have much games) i can host perfectly, no problems...

oh and also do you think that by the computer being on will that like coz it to disconnect r be slower? because sometimes im on live and my bro is on msn...

All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

omg lol wtf nubz.!?!

It is spelled like, lyk.

Anyways, I don't know how to fix your problem. Simply sounds like you've got a bad connection. Do you download stuff on other computers while playing?

Hmmm, sounds bizarre.
Don't know how to fix it.

BTW: Use spellcheck.
