Here's some links to information... http://www.xbox.com/LIVE/beta/FAQ.htm says: Is it really necessary for the three ports mentioned in Troubleshooting (UDP 88, UDP 3074, and TCP 3074) to be opened for Xbox Live to work properly? Most cable/DSL routers implement Network Address Translation (NAT), as does Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). For NAT devices, no port forwarding is required for Xbox Live to work. Port forwarding is required only if you are running a proxy server or true firewall instead of or in addition to a NAT. http://www.xbox.com/LIVE/beta/tshoot-b.htm says: Your router's built-in firewall is blocking the ports required for Xbox Live. A firewall is a security system that acts as a protective boundary between a network and the outside world by blocking network traffic on certain ports. Connect your Xbox console directly to your modem (bypassing the router) and test to see if the problem is resolved. If you are able to connect to the network when bypassing your router, you may need to configure your router to allow network communication on the specific ports required for Xbox Live. For Xbox Live to work correctly, the following ports need to be open: • UDP 88 • UDP 3074 • TCP 3074 Consult your router documentation or router manufacturer for information about how to open the required ports. If you have leased your router from your ISP, contact your ISP for assistance. Hope that helps!

I remember seeing a couple other gamers on the list, but forget who they are. If anyone know, you can contact me off list about this.
