    NAT Advice Please

    Hi,

    I am using Sky Broadband Unlimited, it came with a Sagem router, the router is in the hall way and I have to connect wirelessly as I just cannot get a cable to it, plus being a rented house I can't put things into the walls.

    Anyway when I try to play online games, the NAT will vary between Strict and Moderate. Currently there are 2 computers, 1 laptop and an xbox360 which all connnect wirelessly to the router.

    Is there anything I can do to get the NAT to be open? UPNP is turned on.

    Cheers
    Jon

    set your IP on your machine to always be the same one, ie not set by the router, but by your machine.

    Then go into the NAT settings and open the ports you need for YOUR PC on just your IP address.

    Re: NAT Advice Please

    One more question, I am using Windows 7, when I set the static IP on the PC, do I have to set both IPv6 and IPv4 or ?

    Cheers

    You mean you're having trouble with gaming on the 360? In that case you should just forward ports 3074 (UDP and TCP) and 88 (UDP only) to the static IP of your Xbox.

    Re: NAT Advice Please

    In the end I set up static IP's on the xbox and my PC and now the NAT in MW2 is open for both the xbox and the pc. I also forwarded the ports required.

    Thankfully I can now play games again lol
