Alright, so I'm not sure if this is the best place on ForgeHub to write this, but if it's not, a mod can just move it, right? I haven't seen any guides on ForgeHub. Anyways, here goes. If you're like me, and you had a Moderate or Strict NAT, you probably will have experienced many problems with Xbox Live, such as not being able to find people, contact your friends, slow matchmaking times... etc. By opening your port securities that your router places on your Xbox, you can get your NAT to Open, and fix all of those problems. Here I've found a Youtube video and an article over at the Xbox360 forums, each to help you open your NAT. (For LINKSYS Routers ONLY!!) NOTE: Each guide says that all you need to do follow the steps in that guide, but I must have had a mega-closed NAT because I had to follow both guides in order to get my NAT to Open. I highly recommend using the Youtube guide first, then following the forum guide. Without further ado.... 1. Here's the link to the Youtube vid. 2. Link to Forum thread.
this is great, cuz when im over at my dads i have strict NAT and when im at my moms i have moderate. moderate doesnt really affect me that much, but when im at my dads its almost like im not even on xbl anymore!
You're quite welcome. Remember though, these are guides for Wireless-G Linksys Routers. I hope that's what you have.
Back in the day, routers used to come with a little sticker that said "Xbox Live Compatible" to tell you that you were buying a Router that was made for Xbox.
