I can't join my friend's game or voice chats and he can't join mine?

Before yesterday I have been able to join games with him so I know it's not my connection or his.

Every time I try to join a voice chat with him it goes to the chatroom screen and then it says joining chat and then the chat room just disapears from the list.

When I try to join a game of his, most recently on Army of Two, it says joining server then says something along the lines of connection failed, server may be full, or may have closed.

Neither of us is blocking the other. A fix would be great. Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

Update:

I tried resetting the router earlier and so did he. But still no change. I can join chats and games of other people and so can he it's just that we can't join each others games. And my nat type has always been moderate and we have played together before, I could try that though I guess. Yesterday and today is the first time this has happened to me

    The reason why you can't join is because of your router settings. I'm assuming that if you can't join, then your router settings must be on Moderate NAT. If you want to fix this all you have to do is change your router's NAT settings. How to change the setting depends on what kind of router you have. This same problem happened to me in Halo 3. If you want to change the settings, you should read your router's instruction manual. If you want some more information, you can see it here: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topne...

    Most of this info is based off of Halo 3 but I'm pretty sure that it applies to all the other games. Hope this helps!
