You both need to reset your routers.

you need to change your NAT Settings to open its probally moderate or strict.Yeah that's right, you and your friend both need to do this.

Go to 'System' and 'Networking Settings' then do 'Xbox live connection test'

When the test is complete (should take about 2 mins) if your NAT Setting is Strict then go to this page and it'll tell you how to 'Open' your NAT Settings. http://midnight.hushedcasket.com/2007/01/30/make-your-router-xbox-live-compatible/

If your friend has a 'Strict' NAT Settings, tell them to go to the same page:
http://midnight.hushedcasket.com/2007/01/30/make-your-router-xbox-live-compatible/

If your on a Moderate setting you may want to consider 'Opening it' as it makes life and connectivity easier.

You need to be a bit tech savvy to understand it but it's the only easy way.
