was the NAT on open before? if so, then just try resetting your connection because this happened to me before. i just shut off my xbox, and power cycled the router and it worked fine afterwards.

Assuming you have a router, you want to set the MTU on your router to 1384..with some routers that are not XBox 360 compliant..this needs to be done.
Also open/forward ports •UDP 88•UDP 3074•TCP 3074 to a static LAN IP that you give your XBOX (usually easily done with reservations on the routers DHCP)
