Xbox 360 NAT Problems

[zeon_5*]

Hi

For a while now i have been having problems getting the NAT on my 360 to say open.

I have a Netgear WGT624 v3 wirless router (with the latest firmware) and have my 360 wired directly into it and my 360 has a static IP address.

So Far i have tried the following:

1st off i had the UPNP set to enable. NAT Satus - Strict
2nd i turned UPNP off and turned the DMZ on. NAT Status - Strict
3rd i turned off DMZ and put some port forwarding on, i setup 3 port forwards as follows, UDP: 88, UDP: 3074, TCP: 3074. NAT Status - Strict.

Now i am all out of ideas. I got the port numbers off another thread on this forum and I have read on XBox Live The Guide that dependent on the firmware on the router, this particular router sometimes gives a false report. So basically it says that its strict when its not.

Is there anything more I can do as i said above im fresh out of idea

Well i tried changing the settings again and still nothing. I am now baffled and all out of ideas. I have done everything everyone i have spoke to told me to or read on a forum. And still the NAT stays strict.

Think it is just being difficult and is time to give up on it and enjoy what i can online

Cheers for the help
