Ok, so it's now 9:30 and I have not yet had a chance to play Gears2 which is all I wanted to do tonight.

It's very tempting to swear a lot here, but I will refrain. I won't go through all the frustration I have been through.

So I have my xbox connected to the 2nd network adapter - the first is connected to the router. The xbox can not connect to this router as well - it has to go through the pc.

Anyway, everything appears to work fine. *** xbox can connect to Live - can send messages and all sorts. But I can not get multiplayer in games!

When I go to test settings on the 360 it says NAT is set to strict. This is more than likely the problem, but I have no idea what to change to make it work. Have tried disabling windows firewall entirely, but still no go.

Please tell me what I have to do. Have had enough frustration for one night :(
 
Now got NAT type to "open", but gears still not connecting to anyone.

Besides Halo 3, I gave Frontlines a quick go and could connect to people without a problem...

Whats wrong?
 
Finally got it working - at least was able to accept a game invite.

Changed from ICS to bridging the connections.... simple as that.

Had some fun with rp200 and couple of others in horde more. Pretty good fun :)
