Either yours or there nat type is moderate and it's stopping you from joining their party, just get someone else to creat the party for you? If that fails.. Go in a private chat.

It's common, you need a third party to connect together. Might just stop happening like mine did.

i cant do private chats either. also even if someone else creates the party it doesnt work. and its not the router settings as my sisters xbox workds

Then it's their routers nat type, they're probably set the moderate so some people can't connect to their party and they won't be able to connect to you.

but they can connect to other peoples partys to...

Go on family settings and look through it.

Exactly, it'll allow them to connect to some people and then others they won't be able to connect to.

one thing i dotn understand still is that i cant connect to anybodys partys or chats

[J0SH]

Then it must be your nat type that's moderate, it only lets you connect if you're lucky and such, it's like that for me too, I sometimes can't connect but after a while I can, try log into your router and change your nat type to open, there's tutorials on YouTube how to do it. Benefits of Nat type set to open; faster matchmaking etc.

But weve had our xbox's for about 1 and abit years and they have never done this

It's usually upto your ISP or router I think. And it's perfectly normal, usually I can't connect to friends but after trying 5 or so times it works. It's NXE not you then :P
