NAT and 360

Yo Mamma

Help Help Help,

I am having a nightmare trying to configure my 'NAT' settings on the (Eircom) Netopia 3347NWG. The Problem is trying to Change from 'Strict' to 'Open'

I have tried the following...

Port Forwarding for XboxLive from http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netopia/3347NWG/Xbox_Live_360.htm

Also following Eircoms suggestions as outlined in the doc attached.

None of these seem to work and the NAT is still showing as 'Strict'

Has anybody encountered this problem using the Netopia Router via Eircom ?

Any help at all much appreciated !

Try our guide over at Celtic Snipers

Sweet,

Looks like quite a comprehensive guide

the thing that stands out immediatly is that fact that I have not had the 360 and the laptop connected to the router at the same time :S coz I didnt have 2 cables but it looks like this could possibly be what I am missing ???

I am gonna print it off anyway and give it a go later,

Nice one

would help if you told us your setup..

if you connect the xbox through a pc or laptop,its not going to work

only way to get nat open is connect it directly into the ethernet port in the router.

otherwise your stuck with strict

i tried everything and microsoft and eircom said it cannot be done run through a pc, well on my setup anyway

which was

i ran xbox through pc, which ran wirlessly to router

I connect Direct to from Router to Xbox, I dont have a PC that I can use with it but I have borrowed a laptop for the sole purpose of reconfiguring the NAT settings on the Router, But I have only had the one cable so I have been swapping between the 2 to get the settings changed, I think I have to have the 2 devices on the Router before I can properly reconfigure the router to NAT Open ?

Thats what I am gonna try next

I'm not sure what happened with your setup but I run mine through my wifi enabled laptop connected to the 360 via ethernet cable and it works perfectly.

To the OP, try turning the firewall setting on your router from medium to low.

Had this problem at the weekend

Go into network setting and change the ip address to DHCP

This did the trick for me

Hey guys.
I'm having the same problem with Xbox live.
I'm able to get online but I'm restricted from some players, and trying to play games is a nightmare.
I think its because my NAT setting is at strict, however I cant seem to be able to put it to open.
I even tried port forwarding but no luck yet, and I have set my firewall to low.
Any suggestions?
Any help would be really appreciated!

my router is a netopia 2247NWG.

That Celtic Snipers guide works a charm lads.. Two of my friends used it

I'm on Bt and couldn't get NAT open after trying lots of stuff so I put my 360 IP into the DMZ, demilitarized zone and it done the trick. Supposed to be safe too as you can't hack into a 360 remotely over a network apparently.

That celtic sniper guide worked a charm!
