I've posted about this problem already. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING ON THE TROUBLE SHOOT GUIDE, spent 4 hours trying other player-suggested techniques to try and connect with my boyfriend in the same fire-team. We can't seem to trick it even with tower-orbit-tower or even mid-game invites. NOTHING has worked. Now, I know a lot of players have been on about this since way back in June, but I think we need a little more in terms of progress as informing us that its being looked into - for 7 months - is unacceptable.
FYI - NOTHING ON THE TROUBLE SHOOT GUIDE OR PREVIOUS UPDATES AND SUGGESTIONS HAS WORKED. *Cough* So don't try that one with me bungie. (Side note - we use a basic TalkTalk Super Router, partner has a TP-Link plug in Ethernet port). We've tried to port forward, to apply static IP addresses, one go wireless both go wireless. We don't have NAT Acceleration on our router so we can't do anything with that. No I will not go and fork out 50+ quid for a gaming router........ I've spoken to Talk Talk about it and they confirm that it's nothing to do with their router. UNaP is on, and I've tried it off. There isn't much I can do in our router settings anyway. I can connect perfectly well with him on other games. So it's about time we get some real answers please. And I'm not buying the next one if problems like this are still going unfixed. (Paid too much for the collection as it is -.- ).
So bottom line. Something Solid to go with would be nice. There are a lot of frustrated players out there, not just including me.
So what's it going to be Bungie?

Bungie has nothing new on it. It is not affecting everyone though, not saying it's not a problem, just that certain router brands and or setups may be avoiding the problem. My wife and I play together on the same network and we have not had any of the issues so many other have had with doing so. Below is my setup. It may not help you but hopefully it will. I have a linksys e3500 router. Both xboxes are hardwired to the router. Both xboxes have been renamed from their default names and have static IPs with DNS set to match what my router is pulling from the modem and default gateway set to the router's IP 192.168.1.1. (Cox Cable ISP) mine and my wife's Xbox static IPs are 192.168.1.10 and .11 DHCP is enabled on the router and addresses start at 192.168.1.50 and I only have it set to allow 15 devices at the moment. ( this should be irrelevant as the consoles are set to static IPs) Mac address clone is disabled IPSec, PPTP and L2TP passthrough options all enabled(this should irrelevant as it relates to VPNs but it is what I have set for VPN purposes for my job) UPNP is enabled DMZ disabled. SPI Firewall protection is enabled Filter Anonymous Internet Request is enabled Filtetr Multicast is disabled Filter internet Nat redirection is disabled Filter IDENT (Port 113) is enabled No web filters are enabled. CTF (cut through frowarding) is enabled QoS not in use. Up/down: 7.1/74.2 latency: 42 Packet loss: 0 Like I said this is the setup I have running and we have not had any problems. This may or may not help, hope it does.
