Hi all,

Bit of help needed here.
We have UPC Broadband and 2 xboxes, we need certain ports (3074) forwarded to be open in order to have an unrestricted connection.

However, I can only have 1 of the IPs with these ports forwarded, which leaves the 2nd xbox on a restrictive connection.
I have tried putting this one in the DMZ, but this also doesn't work.

As far as I know , with NAT, you cannot forward the same ports to 2 different IPs.

So could anyone please advise on the best way to make all/both XBOXs unrestricted ?

Thanks.

Hi, certain routers will support 2 or more xbox's with open NAT using UPNP and the xbox's settings on auto rather than static IP's, have a read here http://www.unofficialguidetolive.co.uk/faqs/63-two-xboxes-using-one-router-internet-connection, very helpful website.

Hope that helps.
