Hello Bungie, my first post here! Only been playing Reach for about 2 weeks, but i am already so thankful for this forum!!
Here is my issue: My father and i both live in rural areas of Oklahoma. We both have mifi devices (mine is with verizon and his with At&t). At the beginning my xbox was showing my connection to xbox live as "Moderate" his was "Strict"
After doing some research about how to connect a mifi to a router (dd-wrt.com) i figured out how to open my nat ports with the dd-wrt firmare installed on my old linksys router. And now my connection says "Open" YES! or wait perhaps No?
So with my new found knowledge i cruised CL for another router for my father, then after finding one an configuring his similar to mine his is now "OPEN"!! Yes...no...
So with both being open we figured GREAT lets PLAY HALO REACH, right?...Wrong now we are getting an error saying that our networks are incompatible!!!
I have searched thru these forums and found some posts from back in 2007 referring to uPNP http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=13239595&p ostRepeater1-p=14#13357718 which was very helpful in getting my xbox to show "OPEN" but doesn't really resolve anything for me.
Anyone have any suggestions that i perhaps have not tried?
I also tried turning DMZ on, didn't work. I also tried manually port forwarding that gets me back to "OPEN" but i still can't connect to my fathers. We are alowed to text each other through xbox live, but now play or chat.
HELP ME PLEASE...I JUST WANT A LITTLE FATHER AND SON BONDING TIME!!
HAHA.
seriously...please help
