Xbox live is usually fine with upnp.
PS3 can be funny.
BT home hub has some sort of problem with the firmware.
when actually in a multiplayer room, during the race the router will power cycle hence losing connection to the game.
Firmware 8.1.H.G, the latest is no good.
You need to get your hands on Trial firmware 8.1.H.J.
.
( forza compat).

.However this is not easy, try ringing BT and not getting through to some f'ing Rtard B1tch, probably in the middle of the f'ing Congo.
F U BT.
I rang BT, i explained everything as clear as a bell to Amrita, she told me if i went home from work and reset my hub to default stettings, then ring them back, they would be able to upload the new firmware direct to my hub.
I asked them to make a note on the system about our conversation so that it would be easier when i call back.
I went home, reset to default settings, rang them back spoke to somone other r'tard who said my hub would upgrade on its own in the middle of the night to the latest firmware 8.1.H.G.
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
You've made me sneak off from work to reset my router to recieve the firmware i already had.
I explained it all again in detail, this time she had no idea what i was talking about.
I said go and get your F'ing boss you slag.
10 mins later, literally.
she comes back and tells me the update won't be out for a couple months but my router will update itself when it does.
I explain this is no good for me then guess what, line goes dead, i've been cut off.
F U BT.

Only option is to buy an other router which is compat and future proofed, i've found one but it's another 60 quid on top.
I pay
£10/mnth for phone line from bt.
£29/mnth for up to 8mb broadband, i only get 3.5 mbps dwn and 448 kbps up at the best of times eg 3.30 am.
Total of approx
£40/mnth for internet access.
Here is my solution.
Fck bt off and not pay the bill, contract is due to end jan 3 2010.
I've just ordered Virgin 20mb for
£25/mnth.
They come to install the cable then fck off.
A saving of
£180 per year and a connection 5 times faster than this bull$h1t bt are giving me.
F*ck you BT i hope you go bust and your kids get scurvy.
Nearly ruined Forza 3 for me you mother f*ckers.
F U.
and also trying to charge my gran extra because she doesn't understand about direct debits and has always paid her bills at the post office on time, every month, for the past 50 years she has been with BT.
F*ck you BT, you piece of xxxx,
Thank you, Goodnight.
