Modern Warfare 2 - Strict Nat

Ok, not a router or network brainiac. With that said, I am using a PC to play the game, I have a cable modem as well as running a VPN (for work). I have the Linksys WRT310N. My settings are as follows:
Dynamic IP
Upnp enabled
Nat enabled
I was playing all the MP games, no problem. Then within the last week the availability of games has been limited to deathmatch. When I go into the lobby, as of a few days ago, my nat was open. Now it sez strict. Either way, I have limited access. I am not doing any port forwarding. Not sure I can use a static IP with my VPN.
Any feedback is welcome. Maybe it is just a crappy game.

Try to open ports on the router and check...Try this link.

  • Xbox Live Strict Nat Modern Warfare 3

    I have just bought Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 but when I try to play online it keeps saying I have got a Strict NAT.  Been on the phone to Bombay to contact BT Support (F'ing useless).
    I have the ports for the game 80, 53, 3074 (TCP) and 88, 53, 3074 (UDP)
    I have a Home Hub 2.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Austins
    Normally when trying to get access to advanced settings having gone to http://192.168.1.254 you will be asked for a password.
    This should be on a label on your router (on back or bottom) and should allow you to gain access, if you have changed this perhaps in the past, you can reset it by carrying out a factory reset on your hub.
    The router will prompt you to change it to something more personal after your first login.

  • I cannot open NAT in Modern Warfare 2

    Hello everyone.
    I have for a long time been playing Modern Warfare 2 with the NAT set to STRICT. But recently I have had troubles by playing with friends online so I figured: "Why don't try open my NAT?". I have searched all over the internet for turtorials etc. that tells me how to fix it and I found quite a lot. This is what I have tried to do:
    I went into my routers configuration system to do as told in the turtorials. I have enabled the UPnP and I have done the Port Range Forward thing:
    Application START END    PROTOCOL IP-ADRESSE   ENABLE
    CODMW201 27015   27015 TCP              192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW202 1500    1500    UDP             192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW203 3005    3005    UDP             192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW204 3101    3101    UDP             192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW205 27000  27050  UDP              192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW206 28960  28960  UDP              192.169.1.100 (YES)
    But nothing works for me. The NAT is still set to STRICT and I keep whining about it. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this problem and if so, please be a sweetheart and help me. 
    My wireless router is a Linksys WRT54GL.

     All you need to do is add/change a few things and it should work:
    Application START END    PROTOCOL IP-ADRESSE   ENABLE
    CODMW201 27015   27015 TCP              192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW202 1500    1500    UDP             192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW203 3005    3005    UDP             192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW204 3101    3101    UDP             192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW205 27000  27015  UDP              192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW206 28960  28960  UDP              192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW207 27015  27030  UDP              192.169.1.100 (YES)
    CODMW208 27014  27050  TCP               192.169.1.100 (YES)
    ***Note I changed CODMW205 to 27000-27015 UDP. Now Every thing should work. See you in the game.

  • Opening NAT for Modern Warfare 2 on my PC

    As I'm sure many of you are doing as well I've been playing Modern Warfare 2 since the night it came out. It is telling me that I have a strict NAT on my router (WRT160n V2). I've searched on the forum and all I can find is information on opening the NAT for the xbox 360. I run mine on my PC and I'm wondering what ports I need to open, and whatever else it would take to make Call of Duty run the absolute best possible. Thanks in advance for any help.

    i had this issue for a while. first i dmz'd through my dsl router to my desktop and everything came through fine. it wouldnt allow me to do this with my lap top though. i know that is not a good idea and it was just to check if it would open the nat at all. After some tinkering i had to call my isp and ask them to help me set up the modem so it would just pass all the info to the router. I know that the original poster of this thread has cable but i am posting something in here since it is a similar issue and it might be able to help some one. Once i set my router to PPoE and had the correct ports forwarded my nat opened on the laptop. i also turned the firewall on my router off and left upnp.
    * UDP 1500 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    * UDP 3005 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    * UDP 3101 (outbound only, no forward needed)
    * UDP 28960
    I have dsl and a wrt160 

  • WRT54GL issues with XBOX 360 Modern Warfare 2 chat (even with Open NAT)

    Hi,
    I read some posts about the subject but can't seem to make it work.  I have tried port forwarding, UPnP and DMZ on their own or all at once and the best I could do is to get an "Open NAT" in Modern Warfare allowing me to play online.  However, I can't hear other people talk when playing online.  I can tell they're speaking by watching the speaker icon beside their name in between games but can't hear them...  I can hear people in my private chat or party no problem.
    Can you guys help me?  It's hard playing domination without being able to communicate with teammates.
    Solved!

    I am having the same problem that was described except I checked my XBox Live setting and it shows that I can chat with everyone (meaning no restrictions). I have check my routers settings (port forwarding, UPnP and DMZ, & Open NAT) just as was described but I still cannot hear any of the players, but they can hear me. I have been searching online for possible solutions and I have tried them all with no success. I have also spoken with XBox tech support on 3 different occassions. Can someone let me know what will work?

  • Xbox Modern Warfare 2

     I recently purchased a Linksys WRT320N as gaming router. When i play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox Live it finds allot less multiplayer games if i'm not connected directly to my modem. The game pings 50 multiplayer games games by default and flags the game room as "good" if the response time is under 100ms. 
     I have a ADSL 8Mbps down / 1Mbps up internet connection, a Speedtouch 546 DSL modem and a Linksys WRT320N router. NAT type is OPEN according to Modern Warfare 2.
    I want to use the following setup:
    Modem -> Router -> Xbox 360 all wired.
    If i use the setup Modem -> Router -> Xbox 360 all wired the games finds about 1 or 2 per 50 scanned multiplayer games. When i use the setup Modem -> Xbox 360 it finds like 15-25 per 50 scanned multiplayer games.
    UPnP is enabled on both my modem and router. I've tried forwarding ports 3074 (udp&tcp), 53 (udp&tcp), 80 (tcp) and 88 (udp) from my modem to my router and from the router to the xbox or just from my modem to my router or router to xbox, creating a DMZ for my xbox on the router, enabling WMM and No Ack on the router and setting priority to the ports on high but it has absolutly no effect at all. 
    Does anyone had a similar problem which they've managed to solve, or does anyone know how to fix this problem (other then connecting it directly to my modem)? I'd be eternally grateful

  • 2 xboxes - strict nat - airport extreme

    Ok here's my problem.
    I've got two xbox 360s connected to two MacBook pros running snow leopard using Internet connection sharing. Playing on xbox live works fine, but when we try to join each others party on xbox live to play on the same team, it doesn't let us connect. When we run an xbox live test it says we have a moderate or strict nat type. The MacBook pros are both connected to our airport extreme on the same network. I've tested them both wired directly into the airport and they work fine on an open NAT type, but this isn't feasible we don't have two HD TVs where the router is.
    So my question is, how do I get both xboxes to an open NAT type so we can play online in the same party?
    Microsoft support said the airport extreme was not a supported router. I can't afford another one.
    Any suggestions?

    Reply on @teressax with a question.
    I was triggered because you are talking about a bridged situation, I have also a ps3 and want to stream music and video to that ps3. My current fritzbox modem router does not do the job good enough. So I was thinking on extending my network with an airport extreme. In my network is also a web server.
    The modem/router uses the range 192.168.178.1-255
    Question: Can I put the AE wired(!) extending into that same range? And connect my network to the AE then to keep the same internal network range?
    I am intending to switch the wireless of the modem/router off and use the wireless if the AE also of course.
    Is it then still possible to reach the web server from the outside?
    I still have to find out how to do the streaming, but I am searching for someone that tells me that it will work.
    Regards,
    Jim

  • Xfintity router/modem with Airport extreme moderate/strict nat?

    I switched to comcast xfinity and they gave me a modem with a router built in and we are trying to use the Airport Extreme to get better signal using Bridge Mode in Airport Utility. It all worked fine but then on my PS3 and Xbox 360 it says that I have a moderate/strict nat type any help on how to get a open nat?

    Suggest that you double check to make sure that the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
    Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Settings should look like this:
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save any changes
    When the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode, DHCP and NAT are turned off.
    These services are being provided by the Comcast gateway, so any NAT issues rest with the Comcast gateway. You may need to call Comcast support to ask them about changing the NAT settings on the device.

  • Cisco Linksys EA6500 Smart Wi-Fi Router AC1750 (STRICT NAT TYPE XBOX 360)

    Hi All,
            I have 2 kids. Each with his/her own xbox. One Xbox gets an open NAT Type OPEN and the 2nd Xbox gets a STRICT NAT type. I had the same issue with the other Cisco router I had, but thought an upgrade might fix the problem. Plugged up new router last night, same dang issue. Why can't 2 Xbox gaming systems have an open NAT type at once with these routers? Anyone have any suggestions, I am all ears.
    Ready to try another router (Netgear, D-Link)
    Thanks

    If I am not mistaken, theoritically one router is only applicable with one xbox. The reason for that is because you need to use or open ports on your router and you can only use one port for one ip address. What you can try though is to leave the working xbox the way it was setup and then set DMZ on your router using either the 2nd xbox's ip address or mac address.

  • No EAX or CMSS3D in Modern Warfare 2

    $ I am using Windows 7 professional 64bit, I bought the Titanium Fatalty pro series for positional audio in modern warfare 2 and it is not working.
    I have headphones enabled, stereo in game, CMSS3D enabled in the control panel, the CMSS3D demo test works fine, I have tried using alchemy, I have tried everything I can think of.

    I think it must be the poor sound engine of the game, I have asked around on a few forums, it is working minimally but compared to CS:S it is very poor, I imagine battlefield would have great positional audio like CS:S from what I have heard, its just a shame with MW2, there is a bit of positioning but sounds directly infront and behind are a bit soft, and theres no distance positioning, sometimes sounds will sound much closer or furthur away then they are.
    The only settings in game are speaker configuration such as stereo, 5. quadraphonic and mono. setting it to 5. or stereo makes no difference, I am putting it down to the game.
