Xbox Live help.

[Davey Woo]

Before I start, yes I know it's probably been done before, but I'm fed up of searching around looking for help when I can't find it so here goes.

I have 2 problems, first I need to get rid of family settings on my Xbox, I have everythign set to allow, but it just gets annoying typing in my Dad's email address everytime I change certain settings.

Secondly, on some games, I can't go online, I don't know what causes it, but I get to the "multiplayer" section of the menus, and I lose my internet connection, and have to reboot the router.

My NAT settings are open, and I recently opened a couple of ports up that were recommended, but any help you guys can give would be nice.

EDIT: Sorry I accidentally clicked post too early.

Well, if you are 18, you can turn your account into an adult one, other than that, you might want to look under account management and see if there are any parental control options you can disable. Sorry I can't be more specific, but my 360 is on loan to a friend, so I'm going off of memory.

If your problem requires a reboot of the router, then I would look there for your culprit. It might be old and dying, and you should check to see if its a decent brand i.e. netgear, linksys etc.

My router is netgear, but I think it's very old.
It just annoys me that I can play some games online but others not. I recently started playing Burnout Paradise again, which I never used to have problems with, but now whenever I go online it kicks me off the internet and I have to reboot.

Try connecting directly to your modem and if you don't get kicked from games its your router thats the problem

well for one of them use google

as for the router, i think you need a really fast one, the xbox much like any m$ product can't really do networking very well and decides to take a ton of bandwidth for menial tasks that need next to nothing
