Forza 2: Can't connect to game? Les her

[momo]

Hvis noen sliter med dette problemet når du prøver ¨joine:

 

"Failed to connect the game"

 

så les her:

 

This is a NAT or hardware compatiability issue. First please make sure your Cable/DSL modem and router are on the Xbox Live approved hardware list. This is located here:

 

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/co.../equipment.htm

 

When you attempt to join a session your Xbox will attempt to connect to every other person already in the lobby. If anyone in that lobby is unable to transfer data back and forth with you, you will not be able to enter the lobby.

 

On the system tab of your dashboard run the networking test. The last test determines what kind of Network Address Translation (NAT) is being used in your network. If your NAT is 'Strict', you should try to lower your security settings for your router/firewall until the NAT is set to Moderate.

 

For best chance to join all mplay sessions you should have an 'Open' NAT.

 

Invariably one of you will point out that you can join sessions when playing other games. Other games are not Forza Motorsport2. Racers are not FPSs. In addition to matchmaking we support the overhead of a massive array of leaderboard data as well as auction house, XeTV, downloadable ghosts, uploadable photos, etc. Our network code is different than 'their' network code for these, and other, reasons.

 

Prøv igjen med OPEN NAT!

kan folk ordne dette SELV OM de ikke har dette problemet?

Routeren min er en Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G (som altså er godkjent av microsoft), og er koblet til en stasjonær pc, som gir trådløst internettsignaler til min bærbare data, fra min bærbare har jeg koblet meg opp med xbox 360en min med en internettkabel...

 

Jeg har NAT "Strict", hvordan senker jeg sikkerheten på router`n min?

[DevilsTower]

Jeg bruker kabel til router. NAT står på åpen.

 

WAII MEE. F**n.

Som oftest skriver man sin egen IP nettleser for å kunne stille på den, har du ikke instruksjonsbok eller no?

 

har du strict NAT får du nok bare joina når man er en 2-3 stykk er jeg redd

[Pellick]

Mitt problem er at jeg får NAT open, men kan fortsatt ikke joine noen løp. Noe definitivt svar på DET problemet er betraktelig vanskeligere å finne har jeg skjønt :(

[Sjuking]

samme problemet hær

[abcandreas]

Kjøpte xbox me 20gb hd å 2 trådløse kontrollere, er d innebygget trådløst nett i denne?

[Masterkis]

Nei, du må kjøpe i tillegg usb nettverkskortet... 700,- kr.

 

Jeg har samme problemet, har åpnet portene, men neida, NAT er MODERATE!!! :(

 

 

Hjelp oss!

[Sjuking]

NAT minj er åpen, sjøna ikje ta hær

[Masterkis]

Har åpnet portene til IP adressen som er oppført i Xbox Live configuration.. 192.168.0.11 i mitt tilfelle.. MEN NEIDA; NAT MODERATE!

 

Faen er irritert nå.

[Joastarlet]

Det går innemellom.

Virker mere som problemet er hos microsoft for min del.

 

Det funker noen ganger kjempe fint, andre ganger ikke i hele tatt.

 

Auction place fungerer alltid, samme med online kjøring på andre spill..

Have Forza 2 Online Connection Problems? Read This First!

 

Contact We've been hearing feedback from users who are experiencing connection issues with Forza 2 over Xbox Live. Here's what may be happening and how you can try to isolate the problem to find out what is keeping you from playing online.

 

Try plugging your 360 directly into your cable/dsl modem and see if that helps. If it does, then your router is definitely to blame. Try swapping your router with a friend’s or try buying a new one (and return it if it doesn’t help). Routers are cheap $30 so it might be worth it.

 

So you can play the Halo 3 Beta but you can't play Forza 2 - why? Because the game uses a peer-to-peer topology where each player must be able to connect to every other player. In games like Halo 3, there is a client/server topology in use where everyone only needs to connect to the host/server. In addition, client/server games can use heuristics for picking hosts who have “good connectivity” to other players (generally speaking) and so there is much less chance of not being able to connect to a game. FM2 is more straightforward. Anyone can host, and they may not have the most unrestrictive router so anyone who joins that session is subject to that restrictiveness. If two people have the same restrictiveness, then there is a good chance they won’t be able to connect to each other. If your router is very restrictive, then you will have a very hard time joining races where if even *one* player also has a restricted NAT, then you won’t be able to connect.

 

So what does this mean? The bottom line, in these cases, the router is 99% the likely reason for your connection problems.

 

My NAT says “Open” but I still can’t play online. What gives? It may say “Open” but there might still be some other things limiting connectivity. Again, try bypassing the router to see if that helps.

 

There were some posts from people on the forums about DMZ and port forwarding. Look into these alternatives to see if you can get a better connection.

 

Try upgrading your router’s firmware. Call the router’s customer support if you don’t know how to do this.

 

Try hosting a game and see if people can join *you*. If you do have NAT issues, then others without NAT issues should be able to at least join you. Of course anyone else with a similar NAT configuration to yours probably won’t be able to join you, but you’d be on the inside looking out so to speak.

 

If bypassing the router does not work, then it might be your ISP to blame. Try contacting the ISP to find out what restrictions they might have on their connectivity.

 

Best of luck to all those who are having trouble connecting.

 

Så det er altså ikke tilfeldig som mange tror. Problemet er at så fort en kommer inn i gamet som er restricted på en eller annen måte, så vil ingen andre kunne connecte som har samme problemet. Open NAT i dashboard er tydeligvis heller ikke noen garanti hvis ISP/modem fra ISP har noen begresninger.

Nettopp, derfor må folk kjøre med open NAT SELV OM de ikke har hatt dette problemet. For man kan være årsaken til problemet selv om man ikke merker det selv.

 

Det er dessverre helt håpløst å kjøre en vellykket driftingkveld med dette problemet, jeg får 30 - 40 meldinger på en times tid fra forskjellige folk at de ikke kan joine etc.

Har opplevd på routere at om Upnp ikke er aktivert, så vil NAT på xbox vise strict eller moderate
