Hi Bob,
Can you explain this a bit more?
I'm not a network specialist and we are having the same issue here.

We had the same issue earlier this week. Our security admin resolved it by =
putting in a policy based route on the firewall. Essentially, the internal =
Xboxes are communicating via their external IP addresses and the firewall n=
eeded a way to send the packets back into our network.

Subject: Xbox Live Internally Hosted Game Connection Issues
Anyone else run into this:
When an Xbox Live game is hosted by an on-campus user other on-campus users=
are unable to participate in the game. Users from off-campus can particip=
ate but not on-campus users. If the game is hosted by an off-campus user t=
hen both type of user (off-campus and on-campus) can participate. Student =
IP's are NAT'd and behind our firewall. Is this behavior just a function o=
f the requirements for a host computer which are not compatible with an ent=
erprise-grade NAT'd/Firewalled connection?
