Hey,

So i decided to get an xbox 360 live the other day and got a few games, got gears of war 2 so i could play it with multiplayer on live.

But I keep getting an issue that says my NAT is "moderate" and it could prevent me from playing games on live.

I checked on the net and found a few options that might work, like opening new ports and setting it to push through to your xbox with a static IP etc on your router etc.

Still at work now so no chance to try it yet, was just wondering if there are any other ppl on here who had the same issue and found a way to fix it ?

me, i am an avid xbox 360 gamer...god knows i have had my issues. could you be more specific?

if it says your nat is moderate, but you can still play, then it is a non-issue.

mine has said before that my nat is open, which it should be, but i never had a problem, and it went away after awhile, all while i did nothing.:shk:

It says it's moderate yeah, but it doesn't allow me to play gears of war 2, can't find anyone in the lobby, so when i do a network connection test everything passed except the NAT, and from what i have read your NAT is supposed to say open, not moderate or strict...

apparently your supposed to change some settings in your router, like opening port UDP 88 and UDP 3074 but it's not guarunteed that that'd even work.

So i'm not really sure what to do here.

ok, what brand of router and modem are you using, what speed, what ISP.....i need details....otherwise i cant help.

also....make sure that your pc and xbox do not have the same IP address. set the DNS to automatic in your 360 dashboard.

good man....try checking your setiings for headphones, click on your gamer pic/profile......or is it in the dashboard?......one of the 2. the headset is probably just a setting.

peace
