HOW DO I CHANGE MY NAT FOR MY ROUTERsorry for the caps but i can not join any of my friends on Halo3 because my NAT is moderate and it is really frustrating. i have a eHome router and SBCglobal internet, the cheep 14.99 basic DSL. Has anyone had this problem and does anyone know how to fix this?

Enable port forwarding, open the following ports via your router's browser page

* UDP 88 * UDP 3074 * TCP 3074

And if possible, set your 360's IP address into your Firewall's DMZ.

thanks but it is still set at moderateand i really do not know what i am doinghere are some pics

did i do it right?

[Loki]

Are you sure that is the 360's IP? If this doesn't work I am out of ideas. I know I had a strict NAT when setting mine up and I eventually got it to Open up through port forwarding.

[240sx_Guy]

it did not work, but thanks for the help

If all else fails have your friends change their NAT settings for their routers. NAT shouldn't be Strict on any router by default. Try hard resetting your router.

Edit: You did your port forwarding wrong.

Edit (2): Is the NAT test actually failing?

[240sx_Guy]

my at&t modem came from the factory with strict NAT, my eHome router with gaming mode enabled takes the NAT down to moderate. my NAT is not failing just moderate and i cant play halo with anyone of my friends.

i followed the toutorial and it did not work. i could not just enter what was shown in the tutorial pics. my router would not let me save unless a put an IP address under the XBOXLIVE360 name.

[redtop91]

Those were left blank because they wanted you to fill in the IP address of your computer. You need to setup your computer's IP to be static if you want to do port forwarding. Honestly, I don't believe the port forwarding is the problem. I could see if the NAT test was actually failing. I think it'd be better for find out how to lower the NAT level.

[240sx_Guy]

yes that is what i need. i need to lower the NAT from moderate to open. i can play on live but i can't join certain parties and i can not join all my friends. any other ideas? thanks for the help.

[240sx_Guy]

awww **** it, im sick of the bull ****. xbox is going bye bye

[redtop91]

Tried talking with SBC or the router's manufacturer?

[240sx_Guy]

tried it already...

sbc directs me to xbox support and they send me back to sbc... its a never ending cycle

so i put the xbox on craigslist

[redtop91]

ROFL. That's like selling your TV because your cable isn't working. Nowhere near the source of the problem but OK. GL w/ the sale.

[Brand0nCausey]

WWhaaaat? don't sell your xbox just because you can't play with certain friends, forget about em'. im just kiddin good luck with the sale i guess.

[240sx_Guy]

im still debating on sellingif i get the offer i am looking for then i willbut if my internet gets fixed then she will stay just SO FLIPPIN' FRUSTRATING

[Kiyoshikun]

Um it is possible that your router can't have an open nat. Some routers for xbox live aren't compatible. You can always reset your connection but eventually it goes back to moderate. Usually when you're on live you can have someone create the room and you both can join it though.
