Port Forwarding to change xbox nat type

I have wasted the last 2 hours of my life, trying to figure this out. Ill try to make it short, but bear with me.
xbox nat type is strict. Im fed up with this. Xbox is connected wirelessly to apple base station.
Ive heard you cant get the NAT type to open, but that you can get it to moderate, and thats what im trying to do.
I have successfully given my xbox a static ip address, and then I have gone in and opened up ports to that ip address. A guide i was following said this would work. It made it worse, now i get kicked out randomly, which didnt happen before.
Can ANYBODY give me or find me a step by step guide on how to get my xbox nat type from strict to moderate using leopard and an apple base station.

It is probably your modem that is doubling your NAT. I would set the modem to Bridge mode. That way only the router handles network address translation.

  • 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

    hey i have a iphone 4s 64gb but and using the internet share .. how can i change the nat type from strict to open please help me

    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.

  • Help. Don't know how to change my nat type from 3 to 2 on the ps3.

    I'm wondering if I can get some help with changing my nat types I currently have a wep password. Does that affect the connection? If not I could really use the help. Tried to talk with my friend and play a online game and could not connect. I would appreciate the help.

    Not necessarily but I'm sure there's people out on the network who play games that have answers to my particular question

  • Trying to change my NAT type from Open to Strict or Moderate.

    My NAT type is open but I can't get any games. I told my friend and he said try and change my NAT type from Open to Strict, and that it might help in joining games. I can join CoD4 games, but not MW2 or MW3 games. Can anyone help me? I am playing on XBOX360 and I use wireless internet.

    A known issue with Linksys routers is the NAT Type 3 or anything related to dropping of Internet connectivity during play time.  Network Address Translation (NAT) is the ability of a router or firewall to translate a public IP address to a private IP address and vice versa.  It adds security to the network by keeping the private IP addresses hidden from the outside world.

  • WRT320N. Port forwarding help. Xbox and ps3 playing at same time. NAT issues

    Hi
    I'm trying to have both my xbox and ps3 play with open NAT's for online gaming. I have had success utilizing info from 'portforward.com'. But the solutions will unlock OPEN NAT for either the ps3 or the xbox .. one at a time. Is there a way to get both to be open?
    It seems like one main conflict is the success depends on both utilizing port 3074. But I can't have both use it? ( obviously).
    I tried port forwarding the xbox per specs off of this forum and that works great.. And DMZ ing the PS3. But like i said before. Most solutions
    leave one console with OPEN and one with Moderate.
    Is there a solution that allows both NAT OPEN's on both consoles? 

    First of all XBOX works on a different port number and PS3 works on a different port numbers. Follow the steps below to open the ports on your router for XBOX and PS3. 
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
     This settings are for your XBOX.
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
    4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
    For PS3 Follow the steps below
    Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
    Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 80 and End box type in 80, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    2) On the second line in Application box type in DEF, in the start box type in 443 and End box type in 443, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    3) On the third line in Application box type in GHI, in the start box type in 5223 and End box type in 5223, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    4) On the fourth line in Application box type in JKL, in the start box type in 3478 and End box type in 3479, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    5) On the fifth line in Application box type in MNO, in the start box type in 3658 and End box type in 3658, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    6) On the sixth line in Application box type in PQR, in the start box type in 10070 and End box type in 10080, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box and click on Save Settings
    7) Now assign the given ip address on your PlayStation ip address :- 192.168.1.20, subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0, default gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    8) Also assign the dns addresses on the PlayStation Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
    9) Turn off your modem, router, and PlayStation...Wait for a minute...
    10) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the PlayStation and test it...

  • 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.

  • How do you change the NAT Type to Open?

    Hey everyone, I bought the apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (The tall one) and I've bought the xbox one. So I tried joining a party and it didn't work so I checked my nat type and it showed strict how do I make it open ?

    You must manually port forward all the ports required because the AEBS does not conform to upnp standard used by MS.
    See Tesserax documents for port opening.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3415
    Just look up what ports the game requires.
    This is the min required for xbox live to work.
    Xbox Live requires the following ports to be open:
    Port 88 (UDP)
    Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
    Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
    Port 80 (TCP)
    Port 500 (UDP)
    UDP Port 3544 (UDP)
    UDP Port 4500 (UDP)

    About time apple realise since they don't make consoles anyway it is time to actually help people who do.

  • Xbox nat types and replacement router.

    I currently have infinity broadband which in itself is working great. The problem is that I have 2 Xbox 360 consoles in the house which both are refusing to have open nat types ( they are moderate) when we had 1 in they house that showed nat open. I have googled this and it seems that the hh3 just can't cope with 2 consoles as you can only port forward to one of the consoles on the router settings.
    Does anyone have a solution for the hh3 problem or know what routers may help me. I don't really know too much about it and before googling it knew nothing about the jargon above!! Thanks.

    This may help.
    http://forumhelp.dyndns.info/networking/nat.html
    uPnP should be able to handle multiple consoles without resorting to manual port forwarding, but giving each console a separate static IP address on your LAN, will  help.
    You cannot manually forward the same ports, to more than one device, on any router.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • E3000 ~ spontaneous port forwarding IP changes

    I have an E3000 with firnware 1.0.04. 
    A forwarded port is spontaneously changing the IP address assigned to it, but with no change indicated in the singel port forwarding configuration.
    I have a web server on IP=XXX.XXX.XXX.7, and another device on my LAN with an internal web server at IP= XXX.XXX.XXX.8.  The single port forwarding configuration is:
            HTTP, external port 80, internal port 80, protocol=TCP, to internal IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.7, enable checked
    The configuration is saved, and all works well for for hours and/or days and I can use the web host from the intenet as expected.  However, after a few days or hours the E3000 suddenly starts sending the http traffic to IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.8 instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.7.  When I log in to the router and look at the port forwarding page, it still says it's forwarding the http traffic to xxx.xxx.xx.7 ~ even though all http traffic is being sent to xxx.xxx.xxx.8!  I have to reboot the router to get the port forwarding to work properly.  If I leave the device at xxx.xxx.xxx.8 powered off, the router seems to work fine for extended periods.
    There are no port forwarding services in the router that reference IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.8 , and it does not appear that the port forwarding problem is related to DHCP.  All devices on my network have a reserved DHCP address based on their MAC.  It does not appear that the spontaneous port forwarding change occurs when when the xxx.xxx.xxx.8 device powers up and gets it's address via DHCP.  I have also deleted the xxx.xxx.xxx.8 device from the DHCP reservation table and simply access the device as needed by referencing it's IP, and xxx.xxx.xxx.8 is outside the range of DHCP assigned addresses, and the spontaneous port redirection still occurs once in a while.
    Is there a known bug where forwarded ports are sent to the wrong IP address?  Is there a fix in the works?  Is there other data I can gather that might help?

    Thanks for the reply.  I have a bunch of services running on several hosts, so configuring each port to forward to the proper host using the E3000 single port forwarding page is the only way to go.  It has been 4 days with uPNP turned off on the host (uPNP is still active in the router), and the problem has not occurred as yet.  However, sometimes it has taken over a week for the problem to occur.  So far things are looking good, and I am starting to believe that this host has been "stealing" port 80 by remapping it in the router via uPNP, albeit for reasons I do not understand.
    Because a uPNP device can change the port-to-DestinationIPAddress map in the router, the router really should be able to display the actual port map rather than just displaying the desired configuration.  Not being able to see the actual mapping make as much sense as not being able to not see actual DHCP assignments and only being able to see the desired DHCP configuration.  With the widespread deployment of uPNP, and considering the programming simplicty needed to display some table entries from the router's memory, this would seem an obvious and easy feature to add to the next firmware release.  A log of runtime configuration changes would be appreciated too, so that people can ascertain what device on the LAN caused a router configuration change and record what the changes were.  This sure would make troubleshooting a lot easier...

  • I need port forwarding help for xbox live. I have a WRT54G router.

    I forwarded the ports but it still says I have a moderate NAT. I think I need to get a static IP address on my PC and I know how but what DNS servers do I put in. When I made my static IP the internet didn't work and I figured it was the wrong DNS servers. Do I also have to switch anything in the router settings? Like switch from DHCP to static IP? Any help would be appreciated.
    PS. I know nothing about routers and will need to be told where to switch things.
    TYTY

    in order to open the ports for the x-box , u need to assign a static ip address on the x-box itself and not the pc.....it should be anywhere in between the following range
    192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99 or
    192.168.1.150 to 192.168.1.254
    the dns numbers would be the one from the status page on the router ui...to access the router ui , you need to type http://192.168.1.1 .. logon using "admin" password......on the setup page , adjust the mtu settings to 1365.....under "applications and gaming" , open ports 88 and 3074 and give the ip address of the x-box...

  • How do i change the Nat type 3 to type 2 for my Ps3 on Airport Extreme?

    I have search the internet trying to find ways to do this but nothing has helped. Some people tell me to airport utility and then to internet and then to NAT. But, no NAT tab shows up for me. I'm trying to change it from NAT 3 to 2 so it can work better with my PS3. Thank you.

    Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet broadband modem and not another router? If so, the following is how you would configure the Extreme for Port Mapping:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the PS3.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    On the 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 PS3>
    IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AXn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    Click the "+" (Add) button
    Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
    Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
    Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the PS3>
    Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
    Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
