Subject: Connection problems to Halo servers ~ 2010

Before anyone says it, I have actually checked some other problems like my own, (there are quite a few on the internet)but they don't relate to my problem and they are over 3 years old.

I'm getting the Information could not be retrieved from the halo 3 servers, and this is AFTER I opened ports 88, 3074 TCP/UDP, I did this so I could easily connect to sessions on RDR (which works perfectly now), but after doing this, my halo is no longer connecting.

I'm using a Thomson SpeedTouch 716 v5 WL. I really want to get this fixed before reach.

I'd appreciate any help, thanks :D

The public port number can not be 88. Because it will have a collision with the Home Gateway web service.

Other than that, I suggest getting a new router. That type doesn't like XBL in general for some reason.

I can understand the modem, it really isn't my favourite. But opening those ports has solved my connection issues on most multiplayer games also, only ones such as Too Human, Forza and Halo aren't working properly, and they all have one thing in common. So, there is no solution to this apart from replacing the modem? Okay, thank you.

You could try to update your firmware, and hopefully that will resolve the problem. Or, you could contact the company, and hopefully they will no what's wrong.

I personally use a Linksys router, and I've never had a problem with it.

I'll check on the website for some drivers. It's just confusing, as this was working (if not slowly) just a few weeks ago. I'd probably go with a Linksys modem, I don't really have much need for a router
