Subject: Issue connecting to matchmaking

Hi, I'm having some issues with Halo: Reach and Halo 3 matchmaking. I have a perfect connection to Xbox Live, and all other games including call of duty series, battlefield 2, etc play online with no issues. But as soon as I try to play Halo: Reach I get the error message:

"The Halo: Reach server is unavailable at this time. Please try again later."

and if I try to play Halo 3 I get the message:

"Information could not be retrieved from the Halo 3 server.

I have contacted Xbox Live support about this but they told me there was nothing they could do, seeing as the problem did not seem to be with my XBL connection. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for Bungie support, if it isn't can someone please tell me who I should contact.

Things I have tried:
Resetting modem to default settings,
Enabling / disabling uPnP,
Giving Xbox static IP address and configuring as a DMZ server,
Fiddling with every other modem setting,
Throwing controller against wall in frustration.

This has been going on for about a month now and does not seem to be resolving itself anytime soon. If anyone can suggest a possible solution to my predicament it would be much appreciated!

Cheers
