I recently bought my Alienware 17 R4 laptop and have had it for almost a month now. The first thing I did when I got my laptop was try to join my friends Xbox Live party through the Xbox App on Windows 10. Every time that I get into their party it says I am unable to connect due to network settings and check the network status and under server connectivity it says blocked. I went through the troubleshooting process on the Xbox site and none of that worked. I never had this problem with my gaming PC that I've had for over a year and I am able to connect to parties on that. I've had my laptop over at friends houses and while I was there I checked and it was still blocked. Between me and the houses I went to there were 5 different internet providers that it still happened with. At this point the only thing that I can think of is that it has to have something to do with the pre-installed software or settings blocking this which is why I am trying the Alienware forum for help. The laptop I have and the gaming PC that I have both run Windows 10 and are updated to the latest software release.
