Make sure UPnP is turned on in your router setting.

the prob with upnp is fios router's dont have it
the default one

Try to take it off the DMZ and open:
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)

no i called fios and xbox and they said all i had to do was click manual on my xbox and type the ip i wanted it to be and it would always pull that one from the router am i supposed to reserve it on router too

 

[dizzyh]

Yes static ip should be reserved on your router. Look under the DHCP setting on the router, there should be an option for dhcp reservations.

do you know how on the verizon stock router

At the link below look at the section that says how to get the same ip assignment per device.

do you know if all ports for call of duty games are the same because i see a pre made rule for call of duty with ports TCP Any -> 28960
UDP Any -> 20500
Any -> 20510
Any -> 20600
Any -> 20610
Any -> 28960

 

[Viking1237]

or is this just the original call of duty or something

 

[dizzyh]

They are different. Look here:

Once you set the static IP on your router, put that address in the DMZ and you should not have to worry about opening ports. Also you should reboot your router after these changes are made.
