When I go on Xbox Live, I try to join my friends Party, but it says: Cant connect. May be something wrong with the connection". I went to my router set up (198.192.1.1) and turned on the UPnP, and when I go to "test Xbox Live connection" it says that there is nothing wrong, but I still can't join my friends Party. What do I do?

This occurs from your internet service. Some people due to internet services and router firewalls etc. Can not connect with others. If he is hosting the internet on your side is fine his router firewall is blocking your connection. He can change it by you giving him you I.P and he can open a port for his router.
You do not have the proper ports forwarded in your router.

That happened to me once. You should check the wireless device or your ethernet cable( whichever one your using ). If your ethernet cable isnt plugged in on the way it will only let you log into xbox live and that may be it. Lastly try resetting your router and make sure all the wires are plugged in good. AlsoCheck your NAT settings. If your trying to connect to a friend, You or your friend most probably do not both have an OPEN connection. To find out if you do or dont, go to your xbox's network settings and run a test, if it comes up with a "More Information" button click it, and it will tell you what type of NAT, your xbox is set too. However if it does not come with a More Info button, then your xbox is OPEN. Make sure both you and your friend do these tests. If one of you is not OPEN, then you will need to either open some ports up or turn on DHCP and UPnP. But I wont go into detail until you've done the test. Hope this helps.
try putting your xbox on the dmz in your routers settings. find your xbox's ip address and insert it into the dmz which leaves ALL security open but since no one can hack a 360 you don't have any worries, it worked for me! good luck
