Your network settings block the Party Chat [0x89231806]

We have seen several Xbox owners complaining about Error Code 0x89231806. From our understanding, this code tends to show itself whenever the player attempts to join a party chat with friends or families.

Your network settings block the Party Chat [0x89231806]

What could this mean, then? Well, we believe it means the internet connection between the Xbox video game console and the other members of the party chat is failing. We understand this usually happens due to incompatibilities with Network Address Translation (NAT) types.

So, how can users solve this problem to return to speaking with others in Party Chat? We have a few ideas that work.

1. Check your NAT type
2. Check if you’re getting these errors
3. NAT Type: Unavailable
4. Double NAT detected

Let us discuss how to solve this issue from a more detailed perspective.

1] Check your NAT type

The first thing you will want to do in this situation is to check your NAT type. Press the Xbox button on the controller, then go to Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings. Now, under the section that reads, Current Network Status, please click on NAT Type

2] Check if you’re getting these errors

If you begin to encounter the following errors after looking at your NAT type, it is time to troubleshoot.

• NAT Type: Unavailable (displayed under Current Network Status on the Network screen)
• Can’t get a Teredo IP address (displayed after running Test multiplayer connection on the Network screen)
• Double NAT detected

3] NAT Type: Unavailable

If you see NAT Type: Unavailable, the best option is to jump into your router settings.

We’ve understood that this error often pops up because Teredo cannot get an IP address. For those who are wondering, “Teredo is a networking protocol that’s used to establish secure communications between clients and servers and to facilitate secure network connectivity between devices behind routers that use network address translation (NAT),” according to Microsoft.

To fix this problem, you are required to locate the IPv6 settings in your router, then search for the following:

• Allow Teredo tunneling
• Allow IPv6 tunneling

Should you come across any of the options above, we want you to make sure they are enabled. We do not have an image because the router used for this test does not support Teredo tunneling or IPv6 tunneling.

4] Double NAT detected

If your home network uses a router and a gateway, this option could very well fix the issue. The idea is to put your gateway into bridge mode if both your router and gateway perform NAT.

If this is the case, they will generate a double NAT, making joining party chats difficult.

You may need to review your device documentation to learn how to remove double NAT and error 0x89231806.

Finally, return to the Xbox menu and navigate to Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings > Test NAT Type. If it shows that your NAT type is Open, then you’re on the right track.

Why does my Xbox not let me go into party chat?

Your Xbox may not let you enter party chat because account permission settings restrict access or network connectivity issues. Ensure that your Xbox Live account has the necessary permissions and check your network connection to resolve any potential problems affecting party chat access.

Why does my Xbox keep saying party chat disconnected?

Xbox party chat disconnections can result from network issues. First, try resetting your modem and router by unplugging them for 30 seconds and then reconnecting. Ensure your device’s network settings are configured correctly.
