Changing my NAT Question

[wombleboy05]

I want to change my NAT from strict to open on my router so I have better connection to players on my xbox 360.

What are the downsides of changing it to Open from strict?

You want it open for the best connection, can use http://portforward.com/ for help.

There are no downsides.

If the Xbox is the only gaming device you take online, just set it's IP to static on your router, and add that to the DMZ.
