NAT Help
05/26/11 12:41 pm | #1
So I was playing Halo: Reach last night and noticed my Nat went from open to moderate since I last checked. Nothing on my network has changed except the addition of 2 computers. I am on a wireless network with a linksys wrt150n router. i've reset it already and nothing. any advice would be much welcome.

This my friend is your lucky day. This is a guide to opening you NAT. Now i have to say though, i think with a linksys router your webpage address for it will be 192.168.1.1 or 1.0 at the end. Also, some newer routers already has some of these ports forwarded so if while enter a port forward rule it says its already in use, dont worry about that one.
Like right now, the only port forward i have is 87-89 UDP. Anyways here it is http://news.softpedia.com/news/Guide-to-Opening-NAT-Xbox-360-71775.shtml
Also a quick word, it works best having your computer wired directly to the router for this, save your settings!!
Then gentle reset your router after all is done. Confirm your xbox ip address and you should be good to go. Anymore questions PM me. I've done this a few times for myself and friends.

The way Bungie reads NAT settings isn't always accurate. You may see that message again now that you opened your NAT settings. It will not slow down your matchmaking.

Okay, my nat went to moderate today. No power outage, so no reason for it to do so. Also, the info on the link is not working anymore. Help please. I hate mod nat

check to make sure your ip address on your console is still the same as the port forwarded one on the router

I should be posting this under what grinds my gears. I called on Saturday about the same thing, my NAT had somehow changed itself from open to moderate. So, I called my phone company and the dingbat at the help center told me I would have to call Bungie to get my settings.

dunder dont worry about the nat its pointless the only way to open your nat back up is to factory your router plain out and simple i cant do it because i have 2 xboxs hooked up and no matter what mine shows mod but before when all i had was one a factory reset fixed it

It isn't pointless, Moderate Nat can only Connect to other people who have either Moderate or Open NAT, Strict NAT can only connect to Open NAT, Open NAT can connect to anyone, I wasn't able to play with my best friend until he fixed his Strict NAT settings.
