There are several reasons that may start such issues on Xbox. A few of them include – interfering Firewall, stopped IP Helper service, misconfigured IPv6, or disabled Teredo Interface. Whatever is the problem in your case, you may easily fix that one by following the workarounds discussed in this post. 

Xbox Party Chat Error 0x89231806 Solutions 

To solve the Xbox Party Chat error 0x89231806 in Windows 10, try out the following suggestions sequentially –

1. Disable Firewall and VPN

The presence of a third-party firewall program or some VPN may prevent accessing the Microsoft Server. This, in turn, restricts making an Xbox connection on Windows 10. If you are using any such application, make sure to either disable or uninstall it temporarily. 

In case the error persists even after disabling the external firewall and VPN, go and check the Windows Firewall. If the same is blocking Xbox from creating a party chat, you must disable it as well. 

2. Enable the Default Firewall Policy

If the default Windows Firewall policy stays disabled, this may result in similar errors. To check the current status of this policy, use these steps –

• Press Win + R.
• Type “cmd” and press Ctrl +Shift + Enter keys altogether.
• Doing so will invoke the Command Prompt (Admin).
• Now, execute the following code –

netsh advfirewall show currentprofile

• If you receive the message “Firewall Policy BlockInbound, AllowOutbound“, this implies the default policy is active. 

• In case, you receive “AllowInbound” instead of “AllowOutband”, teredo will be unable to establish an IPsec connection to your computer or Xbox console. In such a scenario, you must execute the below code –

netsh advfirewall set currentprofile firewallpolicy blockinbound,allowoutbound

• After this code runs successfully, restart Windows 10. 

3. Reset your internet connection

Poor network in your locale may also block several features of the Xbox console and hence results in the party chat error 0x89231806. You may try resetting the network connection once and see if it makes any changes or not. Here’s how to reset internet connectivity in Windows 10 –

• Open Windows Console as an Administrator.
• Press Yes on the UAC prompt to authorize access.
• On the elevated prompt, copy/paste the following codes followed by the Enter key –

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

netsh winsock reset

• After executing the above codes successfully, Reboot your PC.

When Windows 10 reloads, check if the error 0x89231806 resolves or is still occurring. 

4. Restart the IP Helper service

Windows 10 uses an IPv6 server to communicate between Xbox and the computer. Any issue inside this server may also generate the error code 0x89231806 while joining the Party Chat. To Stop such an issue, check its current status. If stopped, restart it manually using the below guideline –

• Jointly press Window and S key.
• Type Services and hit Enter.
• On the services window, scroll down and locate the IP Helper service.
• Right-click over this service, and hit Stop.

• Next, double-click on the IP Helper service to enter its Properties window.
• Use the drop-down menu next to Startup type and change the default value to Automatic.
• Next, hit the Start button. See the snapshot below –

• Finally, hit Apply then OK to confirm the above changes.

Close all running windows and restart your PC. From the next logon, you should be able to join the Xbox Party chat without any interruption.

5. Enable Teredo Tunneling Interface 

Many users succeed to eliminate the Xbox Party Chat error 0x89231806, by enabling the Teredo Tunneling Interface. In order to enable this interface, you may take the help of the Device Manager. Here’s how to proceed –

• Open the Run dialog using Win and R shortcut.
• In the void box, type devmgmt.msc and click OK.
• When the Device Manager launches, expand the Network adapter section.
• Next, go to the menu bar and click View > Show hidden device.

• Doing so will launch the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-interface. Right-click over this and select the Enable option on the pop-up window. 
• Restart Windows 10 so as to make the changes effective. 

You may now try joining the Party Chat on Xbox. I hope, the error 0x89231806 resolves by now. If not, try out the next set of solutions –

6. Switch to an alternate IPv6 server

Another effective solution to fix such issues is by switching to an alternate IPv6 server. Here is the quick way to switch to another IP server –

• At first, close all applications (including Xbox) running in the background.
• Go to Start and type cmd in the text box.
• From the list, do the right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
• If the UAC window comes into the display, hit Yes.

7. Ensure NAT Type is OPEN on Xbox console

If you are still unable to join the party chat on Xbox, check the status of the NAT type. At times, error 0x89231806 might occur because the NAT type is disabled on Windows 10. If that’s the case, re-enable it using the below steps –

• Log into Windows Xbox, and open its console.
• Next, navigate to Profile & System > Settings. 
• Under the General tab, click once over the Network settings.
