Random disconnects from Live?

I've been getting randomly disconnected from Live. I won't be doing anything special, and it wil say I was disconnected. It usually reconnects shortly after, or I can reconnect instantly on my own.

I'm really not sure what's up with this. I have a Buffalo router (I forget the exact model, but it's very popular for DD-WRT and other custom firmwares) running the Tomato firmware. I share the connection (ethernet cable straight to router) with my PS3, which has NO problems whatsoever with connections. I just switch the cable back and forth depending on what console I use.

Any idea what's causing it? The Live connection test works perfectly. I'm thinking about setting up QoS here soon...perhaps it's a port forwarding issue?

no its diff then that

same thing happens to me, ill be on live playing solo and the message pops up tha ti was DCed and if i reconeect it works fine, internet never goes down when this happens, sometimes it happens in games which is annoying, cant figure out a cause, i run Linksys routers, forgot the modle num, whatever the standard 4 port wired one is
 
I had a similar issue - I'd get dropped from Xbox Live frequently, AND I'd lose Internet connectivity on my PC. It was very brief (~1 sec) but happened frequently and was very annoying. I only noticed that I was losing my Internet connection on my PC because my telnet/SSH/VPN connections would die. I ended up having to replace my router, and all is wonderful now.
 
Ah... I was running a Linksys with DD-WRT and never had any issues. I moved to Verizon FiOS on Friday but I haven't tested my XBLive yet. Hopefully all is good. 🙂
 
Well, I set up QoS and all that crap, and it seemed to make everything worse. I got more lag on Live (Horrible, actually), and the disconnects were more frequent. I also generally get slower speeds, more lag, etc on PSN when I set up QoS as well.

I'm thinking I'll just leave the router with default settings (aside from wi-fi). It seems to run best that way, even though Live still doesn't work right then.

Edit: Has anyone changed MTU settings (and noticed improvements)? I've heard this can help.

Edit again: My internet isn't going out when these disconnects happen.
 
I'm having the same problems, but its across all of my internet. 952 ping in a low lag CS:S server, where I usually get 10? There's something screwy going on.
 
I too have been having a lot of disconnects, but I attributed it to my router because my wireless signal just blows big time. It sucks losing like 10 experience points in Halo 3 because my internet dies mid game 🙁

Hm, well I do have mine wired...
 
I had to forward ports on my router or I got frequently (well, a few times a week is a lot to me 🙂) disconnected. It also showed my NAT status as Strict before I forwarded the ports. I actually think I have even put my 360's IP on the DMZ as well.
 
I've only had problems since Halo 3 hit, just a lot of traffic, was my guess about the cause.

My NAT type is open (or whatever it says)...would putting it on the DMZ help possibly? I think I may try it.

Well it helped mine. It wouldn't hurt to try it. It corrected my halo 3 problems, at least 🙂
