Port Fowarded All Ports for My xbox and still getting Strict Nat On MW2 .
Heard that you can dmz a xbox and it is by far the easiest and best way to have it setup ! Any help is appreciated ?

Re: Strict Nat Issue

If you go into your router settings there should be a designated section for NAT. Also make sure upnp is enabled Smiley

Re: Strict Nat Issue

I have the same router and the same problem.
I cant join other pc games aswell, but the cod strict nat is annoying. Especially when you are paying for 'gaming' broadband.
Upnp is on but i cant find the DMZ section on this router, and forwarding does nothing.
Helppp!

is aparently the link for DMZ - obviously change the 1.254 for the IP of your router Smiley
You can use a CLI to talk to the router, which aparently is needed to get some of the more advanced features out of the thomson.

Re: Strict Nat Issue

Thanks for the link to the DMZ matt, i assigned the xbox to it and restarted it, now my nat type has gone from strict to open.

Re: Strict Nat Issue

Dmz'ing an ip  basicaly turns off the routers firewall for the ip address. its not recommended to do this to pc's.
Also when doing this to a console insure that you have the router setup to give the console a fixed lan ip (most routers call this reserving an ip), as if you leave the router to dchp all the ip's on your network there is a chance your router will hand out the dmz'ed ip to a device its not ment for and put that device at risk

Re: Strict Nat Issue

@ Asbo
The thomson router works on MAC addresses, not IP addresses, so regardless of if the DHCP gives out another IP - the rules will still apply to the same machines (provided they connect using the same LAN interface)
