Before we start with the steps mentioned below, I have divided this post into: 

  • 1) Basic Steps.
  • 2) Advance Steps to fix Error 0x89231806. Let us first take a look at a couple of basic steps.

Basic steps to fix error 0x89231806

  • Step 1) Search for the Xbox beta in Windows Store and download it. Once it’s done, launch it and go to settings. Go to the network tab (which is not there in the release Xbox app). Validate what the settings there are. You’ll likely see an error message about teredo issues.
  • Step 2) Next, we want to ensure IPv6 is enabled on your NIC(Network Interface Controller). It is often disabled, but you will need it for Party Chat; hence, you are getting error 0x89231806.

To enable IPv6, right-click on the Windows Start button and click on Network Connections. Now select your active connection and right-click on it to choose properties. Scroll down a bit and make sure IPv6 is enabled. If not, then check that mark.

Once both steps are done, you are now required to try and join the party chat and see if you are still getting the same error again. Move on to the advanced steps below otherwise.

  • Step 3) You might get this 0x89231806 error if Windows Firewall is disabled. IPv6 tunneling uses Windows Firewall to make connections, and if a firewall is disabled, this may cause problems as the connection won’t establish.
  • So there are two things that you will need to validate, a) Windows firewall is set to start automatically, and b) Windows Firewall is configured correctly.
  • a) To ensure the Windows firewall is running, We need to search for services.msc. Press enter, which will open a new window. Scroll down to find Windows Firewall and ensure the startup type is automatic, as shown in the picture below. In case it is disabled or manual, double-click on it to make it automatic.
  • b) After ensuring Firewall is running, we need to ensure that it is configured correctly to make a flawless connection. This time search for “Windows Firewall and Advanced Security” and open it. Right-click on Windows Firewall with advanced security from the upper left pane. Click on properties. Ensure the firewall state on the domain profile, private profile, and public profile tabs are set to ON. Inbound connections are blocked, and outbound connections are allowed.
  • Step 4) If you had to change anything from the above configuration, reboot your computer and try if you are still getting error 0x89231806 on your Xbox.
  • Step 5) After verifying IPv6 is enabled, and Firewall is started and configured correctly, we now need to see if the teredo tunnel is established with Microsoft.

Windows Firewall Automatic

To do so:

  1. Right-click on the start button and click on Command Prompt (Admin).
  2. Type “netsh interface teredo show state.”
  3. Make sure that the type is a client.

The server name is “win10.ipv6.microsoft.com,” and the state shows qualified.

If the state doesn’t show as qualified, then that shows that the tunnel is not established. To fix this, you will need to reinstall Teredo. For Instructions, Go to the Xbox Beta app Settings > Network tab and click on the error message that shows. That is too much work to fix and eliminate Error 0x89231806 on your Xbox, but it’s worth a try. These are the only solution we have managed to find so far. Let us know if you managed to solve the issue using the above steps. We will try to update here with more solutions if possible.
