NAT problems again with two wireless 360's

Andybtsn · 6 Feb 2008 at 22:30

My 360 has always had it's NAT 'open', ever since I got a wireless adaptor for my other 360 my NAT is now strict. The other 360's was moderate the last time I checked but the chances are it's strict too.

What's going wrong?

Both 360's have static IP addresses.
Mode is Auto 108mbps
I have forwarded both ports 88 and 3074 both outbound and inbound. "Inbound LAN Server IP address" what IP should i put here??

Cheers

Netgear DG834GT

I had a guide of how to forward the ports ages ago and I cant remmeber what IP addy it told me to input in the inbound rule.

You cant map the same ports to 2 seperate IP's though. Assuming the router is fully uPnP compliant, turn that on and let the 360 sort it.

Right, so what do I do? Leave everything as it is and enable uPnP?

Should I remove the port forwarding or anything else?

360 fails at DNS now on Live Connection Test..?

They both set to automatically obtain IP's?

Yeah, just set them to auto. rebooted 360. Same problem..

I rebooted the router and its worked

NAT is Open.

Just hoping the other 360 works ok

Thanks for the help guys.

I had the DG834G and got that problem often when mates brought their boxes round. I have the GT now, UpNp was supposed to be borked on the G but I dont have two 360's to try it on the GT yet!

I flashed my GT to get rid of the crappy Sky BB firmware. I still haven't tested the other 360. Will do tonight..

lol, didn't you notice it was a ms-dos file?

Mine wasn't that kind, it was like an Imageshack or something, looked legit!!

Damnit.

This still isn't working.

Just tested it on the other 360 and it's Strict so back to square one...

Any ideas?

Andybtsn · 8 Feb 2008 at 09:04

Well I gave one 360 a static address and that changed it to Moderate.

Best I can do unfortunately

I'll have a look for you mate, I know how frustrating it his when NAT's playing up!!

Has it only happened since you changed firmware ? IIRC you had both working ok before?

Well I flashed the firmware on the router then bought a wireless adaptor for the other 360 so I have no realy way of trying.

I think they were both Moderate on the old setup.

If the nat is moderate does it stop it from working for something ?

Occasionally. Can't connect to games on Live etc, hit and miss really but Open is a lot more reliable.

WIll try that Murney, cheers

What is NAT? What I were to disable it on the router? Would it not let me share the internet on the gateway then?
