I can connect to Live. I can login to the game. I get to see my opponents. Once it comes time to choose a game variant (example, Slayer on Construct), it cycles through three variants and kicks me out again. Any thoughts? Support is telling me it must be the port issue, but this would have been a problem before the upgrade too. I am also able to play any other game on-line, just not this one. Thanks, Steve Hey all:

I went into the DD-WRT settings, Administration, Services, then the DHCP Server grouping and set a static lease for my XBox 360's MAC address like you said (using the same IP address I set with my port forwards). I set my 360 back to Automatic IP address leasing, and gave it a hostname of "XBOX360" -- if that has any effect. After saving the settings to my router, and saving and rebooting my console like before, it picks up the static lease right away with Halo 3 and has no trouble getting on Live with a full "Open" NAT type. Thanks again for your assistance! I hope that others who may run into this problem will find your solution helpful, as well. Awesome suggestion!

Then the Xbox doesn't see it as Static... HTH, J. Maybe the solution is to have router dole out a reserved IP address based on the MAC address of the Xbox?
