How to Change the NAT Type of an Apple Router

My dad just bought an apple Router and some new modem. now since i know the router is apple company i want someone to tell me how i change its NAT Type from Strict to either Moderate or Open because its preventing me from connecting to my friends on xbox live. Im also using a Macbook Pro for a computer so its apple software an their shouldnt be any reason this cant be resolved effectively i just need a guide to tell me how to go about fixing this problem.

Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live!
The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with Xbox Live! Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live! on-line game that you want to play. As such, you basically have two options: 1) Create a DMZ (Apple calls this a Default Host) for the XBox or 2) Configure the AirPort for Port mapping to open the required ports to allow Xbox Live! access ... or 3) Use a compatible router.
Option 1 - Create a DMZ
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT
Enable default host at: <Enter the IP Address for the XBox>
Option 2 - Configure Port Mapping
The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
Click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
Reserve address by: MAC Address
Click Continue.
MAC Address: <Enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox or the MAC address of the wireless depending on how you connect the XBox to the network.>
IPv4 Address: <enter the desired Private IP address>
Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT > Configure Port Mappings
Click the "+" (Add) button
Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
Public TCP Port(s): 3074
Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
Private TCP Port(s): 3074
Click "Continue"

  • How to change the NAT type to Open on a Imac using bridged connections

    Hey everyone I have a problem. I play xbox live with my friends and i just moved and dont have a wireless adapter anymore. so i have bridged connections with my imac and xbox via ethernet. It works perfectly, but the only problem is that when i connect it say that my NAT type is strict. To play with all my friends i need a open NAT type. Does anyone know how to make the NAT type on the Imac open. And i do have a D-link router model DIR-625. When i called D-link they said to port forward, i did and it still didnt work, they said it must be the fire wall on the mac, microsoft said the same thing, that it might be the fire wall. I checked the fire wall and it said "All Incoming connections are allowed".
    I would really much appreciate it if someone helped me. Thank you!

    Yes, most likely. Microsoft has provided a list of XBox LIVE!-compatible routers. Since the OS X Internet Sharing feature is limited, there is no way to configure port mapping or placing the XBox in a DMZ with it. Typically, you either use a compatible router or configure port mapping/DMZ for non-compatible routers.

    You will have to configure that with your router. Type your router's IP address in the search/domain bar and allow port forwarding.
    What is requiring you to have an open NAT? That issue is usually for gaming consoles, etc.

  • How to change the paper type in printer settings?

    Does anyone know how to change the paper type in printer settings?  I'm trying to have the ability to change it to photo paper from Photoshop Elements.  I can't find the option in printer settings or through Elements.  I'm assuming I could save an additional printer setting for photo printing, but can't find how to even select a different paper type.
    thanks!

    It would help to know which OS you are running as the answer will be different if it's Lion or the previous OS's. You are not running iOS 5.0.1 on your MacBook Pro so provide the correct information.

  • How to change the document type while creating a PO by ME59N

    Hi,
    I  have 2 groups of PR's, for group one the document type is picked as NB and PO is created and for the group 2 it should pick as XYZ and PO should be created using ME59N tcode.
    How to change the document type for group 2 in ME59N? Which user exists to use to change the document type while creating PO in ME59N? 
    Can any one suggest me.

    Hi,
    There a config area, where you can define default PO doc types for a particular Pr doc type. If you maintain the settings properly there, then your requirement can be fulfilled.
    SPRO->IMG->MM->Purchasing->Purchase requisation->Define doc types.
    This will serve your purpose.

  • How  to change the billing type Rv to DG

    Dear all,
    when ever we are doing the return order to a sales we will create a customer credit memo through the VF01 T-code.where billing type will be customize one that is credit memo..
    once we save that the in customer G/L we are getting the document type as RV instead of DG.
    please tell me how to change the document Type in customer Ledger.
    regards,
    chethan

    Hi,
    Just to draw your attention that DG is doc.type used to issue credit memo from FI (t.code FB75), where it does not involve the inventory movement.
    Whereas the credit memo generated from OTC cycle (i.e.VF01) involves inventory movement. Ideally, both of these types of credit memos should have different doc. types, so that users can distinguish the returns based on doc. types later on.
    So, after explaining the above, please check with your business thoroughly if they really need to use DG instead of RV. I would suggest to create new doc. type 'ZC' and set up through VOFA.
    Thanks,
    Nirav

  • How to change the Encoding type of a XML

    Hi all,
    I'm having a XML(generated at run time) with UTF-8 Encoding. If I'm going to parse it, getting an error saying "*Document root element is missing*".
    If I change the encoding to ANSI, it parses without error.
    How can I change the encoding type of a documnet ?
    Any comment welcome.
    Kaushalya

    There's no such thing as the "encoding of a String". If you produced a String from a sequence of bytes using the wrong encoding, you may not be able to repair that problem by hacking about in your code. You're better off to produce the String using the correct encoding in the first place. Read this for more information about XML and encodings as you appear to be misunderstanding basic concepts:

  • How to change the order type

    Dear friends,
    Please tell me the transaction code to change the orger type.
    suppose  we have an order having type Zrox we want to change the order type from Zrox to Zmto what should I do and how can I do .

    Hi
    For single order use <b>VOV8 </b>and for Mass use T code <b>MASS</b>
    <b>
    Changing by MASS</b>
    There is transaction <b>MASS </b>which can be used to carry out mass changes in the sales order and other objects.
    Mass Maintenance: (Use to change multiple fields in multiple documents at the same time). I have done mass change for customers; and orders should work the same way too.
    1) Try t-code [MASS] and select sales orders & execute
    2) Choose the table or tables for your selection criteria and also for fields you want to change.
    Then execute. (suppose your selection criteria fields are from “sales order header data” table and the field you want to change, is in “item data” table)
    3) Put in the sales documents(21000000, 21000001) you want to change and also the items(10) you want to change. – click on ” choose selection fields” button – From the Pool, move the fields you want to the “select fields” using arrows.
    4)From mass maintenace menu, click on “Enter new field values”
    -click on “sales order item data” tab and choose the field you want to change.
    (for example. I want to change plant for item 10)
    -enter the new value (of the plant to be)
    -click on “Adopt” and execute
    5)In “sales order item data” tab, you see the new value of the plant you entered at the top and the old values of item 10 are below.
    -click on “change field values” button. you see all the old values are changed to new values.
    -save
    Note: it will take some time depending on how many records you have.
    Check: Go to [SM37] and see the status of the job you are running and once finished, export the spool file to a spreadsheet.
    Before you do mass maintenance, go to the particular table in [se16] and get the results. Then do the mass maintenance and compare the results with this one. If they match, then you are good to go.
    Note: If you have any user exits that affect the results, ask them to deactivate the MODCHECKS still you are done with mass maintenance & activate them again.
