I've hosted matches for months without problems, and now post update I get this error:
Error
Your network configuration is not compatible with hosting matches. Please check your router's manual for instructions on setting up 'Port Forwarding' or a 'DMZ server'.
I have all required ports open on the router and NAT is open on the connection check.
Any help on this Epic?
Thanks.

How's it going K7L33tha. With the PC version, I believe you need a full-cone NAT capable router. Maybe since the update its the same for 360.
I havent been able to host ever on the PC version. Not that its a problem though, there's alot of high quality dedicated servers to play on. The only thing I want to host for is the campaign, or an ocasional private(friends only) match, with our choice of custom maps.:)
PS: I had this problem on the 360 as well. Sometimes a Push of the tiny reset button on the router(puts everything to factory defaults), and a restart of the router and modem works, but its kinda hit or miss.

go to start then run. type cmd in the box and press ok. then type ipconfig in the command prompt. note your default gateway. then type the ip of your default gateway(your router) in your internet browser. this will bring you to your routers settings. find the area called DMZ and put your xbox's ip in that box(to find this go to your network settings on your xbox and then go to edit tab). this will also change your NAT settings to OPEN and will make joining games and hosting a lot smoother becuase you will have no restrictions on who you can join and who can join you.

My NAT is open and DMZ enabled. Still get the weird error. Just since the update, been working fine prior. I'm thinking others are having this problem too, since there has been a huge drop in servers/players (aside from the Midway dedicated servers which are down all together).
Hope Epic is aware and can fix my favorite 360 game. Cuz there's a lack of decent servers now and I can't host.

I'm not having any problems hosting duels. My first thought was that your ports werent open, but I guess that's not it.
Try clearing your cache and downloading the update again :

Tried this, same result. But I've wondered how to clear the cache for a while now, thx.

If I'm right, we'll have to wait until the servers are restarted. They aren't reading the same version of the patch at the moment... if I'm right. :)
