Cant host ANY Games?!?!

[colorblindjimbo]

thats the only thing i can think of being your problem being you cant ping each other

Router or Firewall/Antivirus software could be causing this.

Can you ping the router?

Yeah i can ping the router,all pc's have antivirus disabled and firewall disabled.

I can't host games either at my house, no one can connect... =[
I can't even play LAN without getting disconnected or the other comp getting disconnected in 5 mins...

 

[Neodude1123201]

Well all the computer can play no problems,as long as the Vista machine hosts....

Did you exactly go into the router settings and make sure the ports are open from their?.... Not any firewall on the computer but in router it self...

 

[Neodude1123201]

I Never though of that,I'll try doing that...

Yeah like try putting the Router IP into your browser and see if it comes up. If not try to telnet into it. Idk how your router works. lol

If you have a xbox 360, do a test live connection and see if you NAT is strict
