i had this same problem it is probably your nat setting (network address translation) to see what it is at do a connection test and if the nat come back as moderate or strict then you will have a hard time getting into games and hosting games but you cant just change them so i have included this website that tells you what to do it worked for me:)http://www.xboxlivetheguide.co.uk/XBoxLiveTheGuide3.php?title=My%20NAT%20Setting%20is%20Strict/Moderate%20what%20can%20I%20do

If you have Norton or symantec shut off the firewall setting. If your windows firewall is on shut that off and if your routers firewall is on shut it off as well. Look under your router and it has an address to access the router. Type it in to the internet explorer box and you wil get the settings for the router.Good Luck!
