What were the ports you opened? Need to try it on mine.

PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall is a great site for all your xbox live port needs

Back at work now so no Forza for two weeks :(

I'll get my butt kicked when I get back after all the practice you guys will get in ;)

Once I get my internet up and running in my new house i'll be online with my fleet of car's, still waiting for bt to connect the damn line (been waiting 10 days already) my gamertag is desertrat2k7 add me if you guys want - i'll be keen to have a few clean races online with you guys :D

A little game you might like to try...sort of a British Bulldogs with cars

Choose the oval then 7 players go round as normal and 1 player going the wrong way - the aim being to hit the cars coming towards you - once hit, you drive the wrong way also. The winner is the last car still going in the right direction.

I`m new to Xbox Live

A quick question: How do the headphones work? Do you just plug `em into the controller? I`ve treid 2 controllers but nothing :confused:

How do I get in on the S/Net racing action?

add your name to the xbox live list thread and add a few of us to your friends list.

there are a few on most nights at the moment so those are the guys to add.

Done :D

But how the heck does the headset work? Something to do with ports? :confused:

you need to open the ports in your firewall to ensure the NAT is open on your router/Connection

if you run the live test on the dashboard it's the last box on the list. If it's Moderate or strict you will have problems getting a connection to other users and you headset will be the first thing to get dropped with your poor connection.

Try PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall forwarding section for your router then xbox live 360 will walk you through the setup.

Thanks Craig.

I also found out the other night the mic/headset doesn't work properly when I powered up the 360 without it attached to the wheel. A reboot sort it

Still no joy with the headset for me. I`ve used the above link to try and set the router up but I`m a computer numptie so I dont know if I`ve done it right. Whatever the headset aint working properly, I`m just getting the odd word here and there, all rather Norman Collier, but I think I can be heard.


Neil :confused:

is this a wired headset or wireless?

It`s wired Micky.
