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.

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.

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.

Here:http://www.portforward.com/eng...0.htm

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
