Xbox NAT problems (Recent)

[Windle]

My Xbox has switched to a strict NAT after a year or so of being Open on the same router. Not sure what the problem is, any ideas to fix it as I basically can't play anybody online

is it not to do with the port forwarding to specific ip addresses on the network? because the router randomly assigns a differant ip to each device within the designated range, set up a reserved ip address and manually connect with the xbox to it, then forward the ports to that address or stick that address in the dmz

Yeah clocked this after I posted. My router had randomly reassigned the port forwarding for Xbox to my Netbook.

Reassigned and it's all gravy again.

No my router assigns each connected object a specific ID which is valid for 30 days or something until it lapses.

For some bizarre reason though it had swapped the Xbox port forwarding to the Netbook.
