Port settings? Im no computer wiz and cant tell you how but i think you may need to forward some ports so that you can play together. I think you both need at lesed 1 port that matches, but i could be wrong..

P-51 is right. It definatly sounds like you are both using routers that are blocking certain ports that are needed to connect to each other. A quick search for PS3 or xbox ports will give you the port numbers that need forwarding. Then you can use portforward.com to help with your routers settings if you need any. If that doesn't work you can try putting your console in the DMZ.

guys above are right.

It used to happen with me when trying to connect to games with a friend. We were effectively blocking each other. Its all about opening the right ports etc and messing about. Out of my league though, but a few in here knwo their stuff so they can help you out.

Kudos for getting someone else to buy the game though

One way is asking someone you know to host a game. And he has to invite you and your friend to his game. This wont work everytime tho but if you are in a horry it's worth of trying.

I would personally recommend the DMZ route straight off - then you will never have this problem with any game. Opening ports per game gets tedious fast - a DMZ essentially opens all ports

Just don't put a PC in a DMZ - unless you want a virus zoo lol
