    Hey guys,

    Has anyone had hosting issues, Issues were people can't get in or stay in a room to start a race?

    I've hosted a bunch of rooms and seems i've had problems with some members the odd time. For example demonspawn had an issue then stang and notyme last night. I have my NAT settings set to open as my xbox is on a DMZ.

    Anyone else have problems, cuz this might be a serious issue come "racing time"

    that tool does nothing. :p

    A good router I like to recomend (the one I own) is a DGL-4300 from D-link. It's got one of the best SOHO processors available, as well as gigabit LAN.

    It's never given me an issue. And if you don;'t want the wireless features, save a few bucks and get the DGL-4100 which is the same exact thing, but no wireless.

    Either way, the router is only part of the equation. It needs to be setup correctly.


    port forwarding, or DMZ'd

    did you get any lag? Cuz i remember racing with you and for us in the race, your car would some times move all over the road and couldn't figure out what place you were in

    I had this issue even with my DMZ pointing to my 360.

    I connect with out a problem now, after I opened port 113 on my router. Should be under a security tab.
