Open my NAT for Xbox live

Please I need help opening up this NAT on my time capsule. It's making my Xbox lag and drop out of games. I have 3 boxes, 2 iPhones, and desk top iMac.

Does that mean 3 xboxes??
Basically the TC is the wrong router for you.. xbox is designed to work with upnp that is vista compatible at least. It can then automatically open the required ports.. you cannot run multiple xboxes with fixed port forwarding as it is impossible to set a port to forward to more than one location. Upnp can negotiate a different port.. nothing else can. Apple of course could never use a MS designed automatic port opening system so adopted their own, NAT-PMP.. which is totally great for when apple introduce their game console.. but useless for your xbox.
Buy a router that is known to work with xbox.. bridge the TC and plug it into the router and use it for backups or wireless or even a very limited switch.. just not NAT.

  • Opening NAT for Xbox 360 (HELP!)

    Ok, I really need help. I am trying to open my NAT for my Xbox 360. I recently contacted Xbox Support and they gave Port numbers and told me to contact linksys to help set the numbers up on my router. When I called them, a man told me that my that my router 's warranty is done and it would cost me 30 dollars for him to tell me how to do this. Please, someone help me fix this without giving Linksys 30 dollars. I have the Port Numbers, all I need to know is how to put those numbers on my router. Please someone help!

  • Trying to change NAT connection from moderate NAT connection to an open NAT connection for XBOX LIVE

    Hi, I have a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router/WRT160Nv2 and I have been trying to change my NAT connection from a moderate NAT connection to a open NAT connection for my Xbox Live on my Xbox 360. I can sign into my Xbox Live account but it is working on a moderate NAT connection. I have already enabled the UPnP and put in the proper port numbers. After doing that I signed into my Xbox Live on my Xbox 360 and tested my Xbox Live connection and still it says that I a moderate NAT connection. I do not know what elso to do and I would greatly appreciate step by step help from anybody who knows what they are doing. PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!
    Thank you

    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.

  • Open NAT for xbox 360 live???

    I am using a westell 6100G with a linksys wrt54g wireless router.  xbox live is saying my NAT is set to moderate.  How can i set it to open?

    #1 Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Servers on your computer.
    a) For example if on Windows XP, go to Start -> Run.
    b) Type in cmd and press enter.
    c) In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.
    #2 With your web browser go to the Default Gateway found, and log-in as need be.
    #3 If you get access to the Linksys, go to Administration -> Management
    #4 If you do not have at least two game consoles behind your router, turn off UPnP in the router.
    By game console, a special type of computer with no keyboard or mouse (and it/they are usually connected to a TV).
    #5 In the Linksys go to Status -> Local Network.
    #6 Setup a Static IP on the Xbox, outside of the DHCP Server range. http://portforward.com/networking/staticip-xbox360.htm
    For example..
    If the Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.100 and the Ending IP Address is 192.168.1.149, you could set the Xbox to use 192.168.1.6
    #7 In the Linksys forward to the IP Address that you setup on the Xbox.
    #8 In the Linksys go to Status -> Router.
    #9 At portforward.com there is text that says Your external IP is
    #10 In the router at that screen, you should see the same IP Address.
    #11 If you do not, then follow this FAQ to get the modem into bridge mode.

  • WRT54GS V7 NAT TO OPEN, HOW? For xbox 360 live

    I recently got a new modem DSL modem so I had to re start my wireless Linksys router settings to factory default. I use AT&T DSL.
    I got my network all set up again and can connect to Xbox Live fine. My desktop has the DSL modem and router plugged into it. Thats in another room. Im in my room on my laptop, with my Xbox 360 next to me. I used to plug the ethernet cable from the 360 to my laptop, and I could get online fine.
    But once I connected today, it said my NAT was set to Strict.
    How can I set my NAT to open, or even Moderate. Because as of right now, I cant really join ANY games online at all. (I tried with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2)
    Thanks 

    As you have DSL modem,you need to convert the modem into the bridge mode to make your X-Box working.

  • NAT Open? For Xbox Live? Where is NAT?

    Yes, I recently have got Xbox Live with my Xbox 360, however some of my friends can't connect to me because it says my NAT is not "Open" it's "Limited"
    I went in my router settings, and couldn't find anything that said NAT Open or NAT Limited, all i saw was NAT One - to - One.
    Which i didn't understand so i didn't mess with it.
    Linksy's didn't help either, they said they'd patch me through to another guy, an Hour and a half later i hung up.

    If you are in the Xbox 360 dashboard, go to the rightmost tab (it's purple) and scroll down to "Network Settings."  When you go there, one of the options will be to "Test Xbox Live Connection" (or something like that.)  Run that test, and the current NAT status will show at the bottom.
    The other router setting I have seen mentioned is setting Upnp to enabled.
    (What kind of router are you using?)

  • Opening NAT for Xbox 360

    Hey all,
    I live in a fraternity house, and we just got an Apple Airport Extreme (802.11a), but we are having trouble playing together on Xbox Live, specifically Call of Duty: Black Ops. I've tried following many manuals across the internet but I can't seem to get my NAT to "Open." I followed Tesserax's manual that he posted for someone a while back, but I ended up only making go from "Moderate" to "Strict." I'm using a wireless adapter for my xbox as well. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    1) It's not the only router directly connected, we have 2 others in use as well.
    It will be critical to understand the current network configuration with both the AEBSn and these other routers. XBox Live relies on certain ports opened for on-line gaming. It also uses UPnP to do this automatically. Unfortunately, the Apple routers do not support UPnP. Instead they have a similar technology called NAT-PMP, but I don't believe this is recognized by the XBox.
    The key is that the router, which has NAT enabled and typically is the one connected directly to the Internet service, is the one that either supports UPnP or must be configured for Port Mapping/Port Forwarding or a DMZ to allow the XBox to have an Open NAT status.
    If your AEBSn is downstream of another router, then the AEBSn should be reconfigured as a bridge. This would disable its NAT service and the mapping or DMZ configuration would need to be done on that upstream router.
    2) I tried Port Mapping, not DMZ cause I was unsure how to do the DMZ part.
    With a DMZ, you are basically disabling the NAT firewall for a single device on your local network. In this case that would be the XBox. Apple calls a DMZ, the Default Host. Again, this would only be potentially helpful if the AEBSn was directly connected to the Internet source.

  • Port Forwarding for Xbox Live

    My eyes are burning from trolling the boards all day. Just picked up an AEBS (12:33 PM CST, 4/20/08), firmware's at 7.3.1, connected the ol' xbox and got a "moderate" on my NAT test. Thats fine, totally expected, no big deal, right? So here's what I do:
    1. Assign static ip ads to all machines on the network (xbox is 10.0.1.3)
    2. Check to see if NAT is enabled in airport utility: Yep.
    3. Enter in the ports as usual:
    Public UDP Port(s): 88,3074
    Public TCP Port(s): 3074
    Private IP Address: 10.0.1.3
    Private UDP Port(s): 88,3074
    Private TCP Port(s): 3074
    The above, BTW, is exact as far as commas and spaces go.
    4. Update!
    Then, NAT test= Moderate.
    OK, it'd be nice if there was a standardized way to forward ports on all routers, I think, no big deal, just need to do a little tinkering.
    I put a space after the comma between 88 and 3074, i.e., instead of 88,3074 I did 88, 3074. Moderate. I tried putting a dash in there (88-3074) wouldn't even let me do that, but of course we all already knew that. Tried rearranging all the ports randomly (3074,88). Nope. Well, even though I just gave the machine a static ip address, might as well try a DHCP lease: enter Airport ID. Nothing. Try it again with Ethernet ID. Nothing. I've got an idea, I'll make multiple separate port mapping profiles:
    xbox 1: Public UDP Port(s): 88...
    xbox 2: Public UDP Port(s): 3074...etc.
    NAT test= Moderate.
    Hmm, Oh they make port forwarding management software? Lighthouse, eh? I'll try that...oh, it doesn't do anything: Moderate.
    I tried a bunch of other things that I knew would be futile, but I've been working on this thing for a couple of hours now and I can't remember them...Oh and by the way, for those not familiar with xbox live: "Moderate"= not good.
    I'll telepathically make you feel better if you can help me out.
    Love ya,
    Boo

    Thanks for the prompt reply Duane. Just to clarify: I need another wireless router? I thought airport express was one. I was trying to configure the ports of the airport express's basestation. My connection system is:
    -An ADSL 2mbps connection that comes into my home from a phone line and into a D-link GLB 802C modem
    -This connects to an Airport Express
    -My macbook pro uses the net through the wifi signal provided
    -I connect the macbook pro to the xbox through an ethernet cable (mainly because it's far from the adsl router)
    I have read that one can forward ports with airport express...

  • Problems with NAT and xbox live

    i could once connect to xbox live using my westell 6100g which i received as an upgrade from the regular 6100 about 5 days ago. It worked fine yesterday and today it decided to change my NAT from "Open" to "Moderate".
    how can i access my NAT so i can fix this frustrating problem? or how can i fix this ? I tried microsofts solutions including port forwarding but nothing works. my guess is my only option is to change the NAT but the interface of westell 6100's page is barely user friendly, and im a tech savvy guy. any help ?

  • Airport Express as wifi card for Xbox Live, then connect to Extreme network

    My son just got xbox Live and we're trying to use Airport Express as wifi card for xbox (connected to xbox via ethernet). We use Airport Extreme as router for the house.
    We're having trouble setting up Xbox Live, keep getting stuck at getting the xbox to communicate/access the web. Error reads "can't obtain IP address from router... make sure DHCP is enabled and has a large enough address range for all devices on network.. also make sure MAC filtering allows your console's MAC address or is disabled... "
    We dont' know what else to do. I'm at wit's end before giving Gates $100... Anyone know how to get connected?
    Thank you!

    You can also perform a simple test to verify if you have an internet connection at the ethernet port on the AirPort Express.
    Move a laptop near the Express, turn off the wireless on the laptop, and connect to the Express using an ethernet cable. See if you can open your browser and get a good solid internet connection.
    If you can, the Express is setup correctly and you know that you have an internet connection reaching all the way to the Xbox.
    If you can't then there is a configuration error somewhere and it will need to be identified and corrected.

  • Settings don't have MTU settings for Xbox Live

    I've been having problems connecting to Xbox Live. All of my PCs wired and wireless can connect to the internet except for my 2 Xbox 360s one wired and one wireless. Some times it says that there isn't enough MTU or can't connect to the network when I follow their steps to fix it. It just keeps dying on me.
    I was wondering if the Configuration page has MTU settings?

    I don't know which modem/router you are using (guessing it's some model by Actiontek) but read my post about getting connected to Xbox Live with an Actiontek router.  Even if you don't have the same model, you probably will find something useful there.  Also, I said this in the post but in case you don't see it, with these modems/routers, you cannot connect wirelessly, you must connect by ethernet or you will get errors.  The link is below, hope this helps!

  • Hook my Airport Express to my Extreme for Xbox Live?

    I have an Airport Extreme router that feeds the WiFi through my house. I also have an Airport Express that is in my living room which connects to my stereo to wirelessly stream my iTunes.
    I'd also like to connect the wire from my Xbox Live to the Airport Express to get it online. Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?

    Try the following:
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Enable Ethernet Clients"
    Click Update to save your changes
    Test first with a laptop by turning off the wireless on the laptop and connecting via ethernet. Open your browser and you should have an internet connection. Try another ethernet cable if you don't have a good connection.
    If still no luck, power down the entire network.Start the modem first, then the device connected to the modem and so one at time until all devices are powered up.
    Everything above assumes that you have the Express set to "join a wireless network" in the normal AirTunes configuration.

  • Not enough MTU's for xbox live?

    I've been on Xbox Live for about a year and I've had no problems. Last weekend I tried logging on and I'm getting a message saying I don't have enough MTU's to connect. It says I need 1364 or higher. I am running off and Airport Extreme router and I haven't changed routers since I've had Live. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.
    Tom

    The MTU setting is under System Preferences-->Network. Click ADVANCED in the lower right corner, then the far-right ETHERNET.
    You'll note the bottom item is MTU, and is probably set at 1500--more than enough for XBL. If you want to change it, change Configure from Automatic to MANUAL and that'll give you access to MTU settings.
    As others have mentioned, it's very possible this is all connected to the XBL outage today. However, I haven't been able to log onto XBL for the last couple days, so didn't start troubleshooting it until today. Going to wait it out, though, and check after the outage. Seems a waste right now to bother.
