    as the title says. im having problems just getting 2 xboxs connecting to my UPC thomson POS at the same time. its just killing one of them. 1 is in the DMZ and the other is upnp port forwarded so i dont see the problem.:mad:

    anyway, anyone any experience with a good one?

    i need open nats and good throughput on 4 xboxs and a few PC's. bandwidth isnt a problem cause ive got the 100mb package.

    Try assigning them all static IP addresses and then open the appropriate ports for each console.

    Then refresh your router (unplug the mains) for at least thirty seconds before you turn all the consoles on.

    By doing this, I managed to get three consoles on open NAT but it did require constant power cycling of the router before I played each time.

    Sorted the whole problem out by buying a Linksys E3000 router. Never had an issue since.

    HI Moose...

    Thinking of changing from my Netgear router, as I can't get it off Moderate NAT, you mentioned the Linksys E3000 router. Is it easy set up Open NAT on that, and would recommend that one for XBOX live?
    Thanks.

    Get a router that you can install DDWRT firmware on, its awesome.

    The E3000 doesn't need to be set up, it automatically has everything sorted. Highly recommended.
