Now there are a lot of threads about the same topic, about not connecting to people, but, I've heard that it sometimes works.

But it can get kinda annoying, when it keeps happening over and over again.

So I read the manual and it specifically says

" The game uses the following network ports for playing online. If you are running a firewall, ensure it is set to allow the game to communicate to these ports both inbound and outbound.

TCP Port - 80,443,13505
UDP Port - 3658

If your having difficulty connecting to other players online and your internet connection is behind a router using NAT( Network Address Translation ), you may need to enable port forwarding on your router by forwarding all data on port UDP 3658 to the IP address of your Wii console. Alternatively, you can put your router into a DMZ-Please consult your router help files for details on how to do this."

And really im running:

System Type: Gigaset SE567/8 Series
High Speed Internet Connection Information: UP
Router IP Address: 192.168.254.254
WAN IP Address: 74.37.79.130

I checked DMZ, forwarded to my Wii, and still to notice that I still cannot connect to my friends.

I also I'm using a NAPT/Interface - PPPoE 0/35.
I customized a port forwarding to Rock Band 2, used UDP the first time, and it worked. But then it stopped and I went to change it to TCP, but that didn't help.

So, I'm kinda stuck here and I want to know about how to fix this problem with the online connectivity for friends. Playing with other people is good, but not as much good as playing with people that you know.

So post me a tell onto how I can fix this problem with the connectivity with friends.

My DMZ is forwarded to my Wii at 192.168.1.125. That is the static IP I have my Wii set at. If you haven't got your Wii on a static IP, your DMZ (or port forwarding) will not work.
