Effing Nat Type!

[Jayhmmz]

Oh hai Come in...

Take a seat, yeah there, right over by that warming, roaring fire... have a biscuit... comfy? Ok good

Basically, I has a NAT type problem on my xbawks threesexty. It was OPEN until the day came where it magically went to Moderate! I was like lolwtfbbq. I haven't touched my router settings in any way, shape or form... so like, whats the deal, anyone else having this problem?

I used to have that problem when I had Speedtouch. Now I have linskys and everyones happy :P What router do you have?

[W1CKEDTW1STED]

Mine is moderate because I have my interwebz on lockdown with my Cisco PIX. But I never have any trouble connecting to XBL or joining games...

[Jayhmmz]

I have a D-Link router mate

Right. But I am saying, even with it in moderate status you shouldn't have any trouble connecting to XBL or joining games.

Can you not reach XBL at all?

[Jayhmmz]

I can get on XBL no problems, but it's just bugging me that it just decided to go to Moderate :/ I'm just worried in case it's filtering out some match making options...

Nah, I've never had a problem man.

Setting it to open just opens your XBOX 360 to the internet is all. I've seen some disaster come from it, which is why I don't do it. Plus I am a System / Network Admin and deal with this stuff on a day to day basis and know what damage opening ports can do.

But if you want to get it to Open, port forward these ports on your router/firewall.

I have... I have problems connecting to my friend if it's not open because his internet is horrible.

One thing I suggest you look at (if you have your xbox through wireless) is, has the IP changed? I had this problem where hooking up my wireless printer took over the slot my 360 had previously lived, and changing the port forwards/UPNP settings did absolutely nothing.

If that's not the case, I could probably help walk you through it using screenshots or the like.

Ah, good call Ilyich about another device taking the ip.

Jay, I might be able to help also. I could connect to your PC via WebEx and help you setup a static ip address for your xbox and then help you port forward the correct ports.

Let me or Ilyich know. That's what friends do.

[Jayhmmz]

That would be awesome cheers
I checked to see if the IP had changed, and it had, so I went back into my router CP and changed the port forwarding IP and then done a reboot and restarted the Xbox
