Ive just gotten XBConnect, and i have a few issues.

I've been trying to play Halo 2.

When i first get a game, it wont pop up on my console to play it. Any idea why?

My other issue is that half the time i try to enter a lobby from XBConnect itself, the players wont load and that lobby will shut down on me.

If anyone could give me advide for this it would be very apprieciated!

Sounds like a strict NAT to me, but i don't remember which ports you need to open.
But xbconnect have a help section: http://www.xbconnect.com/index.php?topic=help
Look under: Router configuration.

But I don't advice to mess with your router if you don't know what you are doing, you can really do some damage there.
Best is to get someone to help you.

go to portforward.com and download the app,,it will find the router and forward the ports on it...otherwise just open the router in a browser and logon and find the port forward section the ports to be forwarded as as follows:
TCP :8602
UDP :8602

There are good instructions on the xboxconnect website,

Hope it helps
