Hey guys i just moved into a new townhouse up at school and i plugged my ethernet straight from the wall into my xbox. While this worked perfectly when i actually lived ON campus now that i live off campus this place has given me a strict NAT when i plug in. I thought if i plugged in a router to the wall then the ethernet from my xbox to router it might open the NAT but that didnt work. ANY help would be awesome, thanks guys.

You'll need to go through the router. What kind of router do you have?

linksys, and ive actually got it to work most of the time. Then other times it craps out and goes back to strict. I enabled the upnp and it opened it and it confuses me to why it goes strict sometimes, i think i need to make my xbox have a static IP. any suggestions?
