Open Nat / Port Forward Xbox

I'm using Cisco Connect Cloud to connect to my E4200 router. I wish to open my NAT type as currently its moderate on all games.
Where the hell is the area to add the port ranges?? Is it even an option on the new connect cloud? If it is, it doesn't make it very easy to find. Would be allot easier if you had a tab/app for "Gaming/Applications" like you did previously.
Any help appreciated.

Opening NAT settings for Xbox

So recently I tried opening NAT settings so I could use my Xbox Live more efficiently. Unfortunately, I know nothing about computer networking. Is there anything I can do to get this up and working?

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

Wrt160nv2 xbox strict NAT port forwarding/port triggering

I am having trouble stabalizing my NAT on 2 Xboxes. They are both connected to the wrt160nv2 with ethernet cables and I don't know whether I need to do port forwarding or port triggering. Right now, I am using port range triggering, triggered range 53 to 3074 and forwarded range 53 to 3074, and under Setup, MTU size is 1452. I got that off of another post on here but I think they were trying to set it up for an ethernet cable and wireless. I just need to know what to do since both Xboxes are using ethernet cables so both Xboxes can have open NATs.

No need to forward/trigger any ports on the router . Sometimes 2 gaming consoles do not work on a router.
You can try to upgrade the firmware on the router , reset it and reconfigure .

Open NAT problems with Xbox One .

When I first got my 1900ac I used Media Priortization to get an open NAT for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare on my Xbox One ; prioritizing the Xbox . It worked fine for about 6 months until I changed cable/net provider to Nextech in Ks. This company uses the 1900ac to hook up it's system for all it's customers ( since I already had one they're using mine ). Unfortunately I'm unable to get an open NAT in this game anymore ; I've tried just about everything , NAT forwarding , triggering , Media Prioritization . Nextech support & Xbox Live support , useless . Tried Portforward . com , nothing . Forwarding port 53 cuts off net connection & doing the static ip change for Xbox didn't help . Almost everything I've looked at seems out of date & I'm at my wits end . It would seem by now Linksys should have solutions available , any ideas ?

Thank you chin_pamz13 for your response . I tried to check if my modem had a public or private ip address but I'm not sure how to do that ; I've read about double NAT's elsewhere . Regardless , I think I've finally found a solution that seems to be working so far . I went to the website " tech - recipes . com " & found an article , " Xbox One open NAT " by Aaron St. Clair . I tried his first suggestion about port triggering , with extra ports I had'nt seen before . That did not work for me so I followed his instructions for putting the Xbox in the DMZ & it's working ! I think my problems from before were the result of improperly setting up the static ip address for my router & Xbox . Previous instructions had me changing the ip in the console along with the router ; Aaron said not to do so in the Xbox , let the router do the work it's supposed to do & make sure the settings in the console are on automatic . In the router at the DMZ , I was'nt sure how to proceed , but at the bottom is a section labeled DHCP reservations list ; clicked on that , saw XboxOne , clicked on that & it filled out the MAC address above for me . Then I went to the Xbox network settings , advanced settings & clicked " automatic " at ip address , subnet & DNS . I checked mutiplayer connections & did the " hold bumper & trigger buttons " trick & finally got an open NAT ; fired up CoD Advanced Warfare & got the open NAT there also . I may have screwed up when I did the port triggering but since the DMZ fix seems to work I'm going to leave things alone . Hope this helps others with open NAT problems .

WRT54GL Open Nat with 2 Xbox 360s

Hi All,
I've been searching all over for this answer and at last have decided to post here on the forums. I am running a Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router with the latest firmware from the website: v4.30.14. With this setup, I am having a helluva time trying to get 2 Xboxs wired into the router to show OPEN NAT on Xbox Live. I can get one of them working, but when I bootup a second Xbox it either comes up as Moderate NAT or Strict NAT. Often times when playing on Xbox Live with that second router, it will get disconnected most likely due to a Strict NAT. My router configuration is running Automatic DHCP with a Mac Address filter for security.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this to work? c4

Yes, you can try to trigger the ports instead of forwarding the ports.
Who is your Internet service provider?
Open the setup page of the router and go to status tab. Check the Internet IP address on the status page.
All the settings seems to be correct.
did you try to upgrade the firmware on your router?
If not then try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router.
Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.

WRT1900AC Problem With open NAT with multiple Xbox One's

I am starting a new thread for some possible help with this. I have just recently replaced my r7000 with the wrt1900ac router and for the life of me cannot get my 2 xbox ones in the house to have open nat. Only one of them will show open NAT. Anyone get this to work and work 100% of the time? I have reseverved the IP's. I tried port forwarding.. I tried putting one in the dmz. I have tried port triggering. None of it works. One will be open the other stays at moderate. I have got it in strict before as well. I have upnp on. I cannot figure out what is wrong with it. Ideas? Also It seems my router reboot on its own and turning the LED's off after a reboot the wireless led's come on. Seems like a bug.

Hewligun, found this on another Linksys thread, it appears that Linkysy may need to update their UPnP and all should be good. Original thread:Packet Dropping thread Excerpt from thread: Re: WRT1900AC packet dropping[ New ] Options ‎05-01-2014 06:16 PM I did some research. Microsoft documents that port forwarding will only work for the one xBox in the forwarding rule. In the same document it mentions that the only way to have two xBoxes running at the same location behind a router is with UPnP. The UPnP protocol has be the newest version in order for it to work. I guess the WRT1900AC is running a later version of UPnP in which case a firmware upgrade will solve this. Keep in mind that Microsoft xBox Live itself is having documented issues as well so we can't really know for sure if the UPnP on the WRT1900 is the newer version or not at this point.

WRT160N V1 Open Nat on 3 Xbox 360(s) Possible for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2?

All connected wireless.
Possible? If so please assist or direct me to a router that would work.
I'm using the Motorolla SB5101 connected to Cable at about 25 Mbps.

So you need to Open NAT on all your 3 XBOX's. Well i don't think its possible, never tried to make the NAT open on 3 XBOX. Yes but 2 XBOX can work with your Router and the NAT will be open on your Router.
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...
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...
On you need to Assign a Static IP on your 2nd XBOX. the IP address should be 192.168.1.30, Subnet , Default Gateway, and the DNS should be the same as of your 1st XBOX.
On your Router page, under the Application and Gaming tab you need to click on the Sub tab "DMZ" and you need to Enable DMZ and input the IP address of your 2nd XBOX and click on Save Settings...
For your 3rd XBOX you can try to Enable Port Triggering and open the same ports : 53 to 3074 and click on Save Settings...
Now you need to restart your all the 3 XBOX's and check if the NAT is Open.

Open NAT to New Xbox 360

I just replaced a brand new Xbox 360 arcade with an Xbox 360 Elite.
When the Arcade Console was hooked up it showed the NAT on my WRT54GS version 1.51.0 router as "OPEN".
After I replaced it with the Elite console it shows the NAT on my WRT54GS version 1.51.0 router as "Moderate".
To host games it needs to be open.
So can anyone help me get it to "OPEN"?

Do you have the ports forwarded for your XBOX on router?

Linksys e2000 router Open NAT troubleshooting multiple xbox 360's

Hello,
I've been searching for about 4 hours now how to fix my NAT problems. I thought it had it working on one xbox in my bedroom, as it said OPEN NAT. But, when I looked at my Xbox in the living room, it said MODERATE NAT. How can I get these both to say OPEN NAT? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

If you're attempting to game with multiple 360s, port triggering would be your best option.
You might succeed in getting open NAT on both but the issue would be if you'd be able to play the same game on both consoles simultaenously. Since both consoles will use the same Internet port, the game packets will only be sent to one local IP address. Some games support this and some don't so if you're unable to get open NAT on both game consoles, call your ISP and request for another IP address. That should solve everything.

Port Forwarding - XBOX Live & PS3

Hello BT Forums!
I am having trouble with my BTHomeHub 3, XBOX 360 & PS3. In my household we have both consoles, and we play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on both.
Now, with the BTHomeHub3 on the "port forwarding" menu I am only allowed to select one either "XBOX Live" OR "PlayStation 3" not both, it just brings up an error saying I can only select one and to change I have to remove the other.
I have my PlayStation 3 set with "PlayStation 3" port forwarding on the admin settings, but this puts the NAT settings on the XBOX to "Strict". Then if I take the port forwarding off the PlayStation 3 and set port forwarding for the XBOX it puts my PlayStation 3 NAT on "Strict". There is no winning!
Is there anyway I can select both, without having to resort to DMZ (makes my connection unstable).
Thanks!

Hi dlmatthews and welcome to the forum, i've had the same issue, you can't port forward to both, I just DMZ my PS3 and port forwarded to my another PS3 in the household.

NAT Port Forwarding Issues

I am running a Mac Mini Server with 10.6.4 and have just the Firewall and NAT services running on this computer at this time.
I have two ethernet connections on this computer. One is the built in adapter (en0) and the other is the Apple USB 100mbit adapter (en2). The en2 adapter is plugged into the internet gateway from my ISP with a static addresss (something like 333.333.333.1) and the en0 adapter is connected to my switch with an internal address (something like 10.0.0.1). I can go out to the internet from the computer and also see it from my internal network, which means that from a network prospective, it is properly configured.
I enabled the NAT service with the Server Admin tool by clicking the "IP Forwarding and Network Address Translation (NAT)" radio button. I selected the USB Ethernet from the "External network interface" and checked the "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol" from the options.
After that I followed the directions of adding the following lines to my natd.plist from the /etc/nat/ directory:
<array>
<dict>
<key>proto</key>
<string>tcp</string>
<key>targetIP</key>
<string>10.0.0.123</string>
<key>targetPortRange</key>
<string>80</string>
<key>aliasIP</key>
<string>333.33.333.1</string>
<key>aliasPortRange</key>
<string>80</string>
</dict>
</array>
I also left the top part of the plist file as such:
<key>clamp_mss</key>
<true/>
<key>deny_incoming</key>
<false/>
<key>dynamic</key>
<true/>
<key>enable_natportmap</key>
<true/>
<key>interface</key>
<string>en2</string>
<key>log</key>
<true/>
<key>log_denied</key>
<false/>
<key>natportmap_interface</key>
<string>en2</string>
<key>proxy_only</key>
<false/>
<key>reverse</key>
<false/>
<key>same_ports</key>
<true/>
<key>unregistered_only</key>
<true/>
<key>use_sockets</key>
<true/>
The section I added is correctly located directly above the final </dict></plist>.
Unfortunately, this does not work and according to the directions from Apple this is exactly how you are supposed to be able to enable port forwarding. I have also opened up the port 80 on my firewall to allow incoming requests. When I go to the external IP address for that server it just sits and waits forever and nothing is resolved.
If someone has experience with this issue please advise.

Gateway configurations are problematic with Mac OS X Server.
(There are many previous discussions around the forums.)
Getting this to work is fussy, at best.
You can also end up with ports unexpectedly open.
An external firewall is usually the easiest choice.

NAT port forwarding

I have recently purchased a Cisco 871 router. In the GUI from the installed software, I have been able to configure which ports are forwarded to a specified IP address within my local area network.
This seems to output a configuration line like this:
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.123 1000 interface Dialer0 1000
However, I can only do this one port at a time. Is there a function or command that I can use to specify a range of ports? For example, I would like to forward tcp ports 1000-2300 to the IP address 192.168.1.123.
Any help would be appreciated.
(p.s: I think I posted in the wrong Topic previously)

Hi
I own a 2621xm which I have used for port forwarding with NAT overload. from what I can see your options are to forward a port onto the address of your NATed interface with the command:
ip nat inside source static (tcp/udp) your.inside.ip.address portnumber your.interface.ip.address externalportnumber
eg
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.43 22 194.41.66.2 8022
would allow me to reach 192.168.1.43 port 22 from outside using 8022 or whatever port you specify in the command.
alternatively you could change the interface address to one in the same network so that it is seen as a different devicewith a different ip that only has the forwarded port open.
the final way would be to forward the entire inside address to a new external ip address for example if you have a 192.168.0.0 /24 NATed to 194.41.66.0 /24 through an interface with an ip of 194.41.66.2 you could run the folowing command:
ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.43 194.41.66.43
allowing you to communicate with that host as if there was no NAT. from here you can use the access-list feature to close ports that you don't need.
Hope this helps!

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.
Here is the link, which will you in resolving the concern: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=2902de6218ed4dc1a4c595595ca1f60a_Resolving_NAT_Typ...

I try to open a port(forwarding or triggering) but it doesn't work. wrt160Nv2

I'm trying to get Utorrent up and going right and it says it's being blocked by my router or a firewall. My windows vista system has the firewall off,and I use avg antivirus that doesn't have one in it. I'll go into my router and I've tried port range forwarding,Single port forwarding, and port triggering as well as disabled and enabled UPNP to no avail.
I've tried to get any port to be open, but I'll go check to see if it works using www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ or www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port="insert a port number here"
but i havn't been able to make any open.
any ideas or am i doing something stupid and missing it?
thanks for any help

Already done the firewall on my computer. It looks like theres another firewall built into my Embarq 660 modem thats doing it.

NAT port-forwarding and WAN side IP addresses

I have my Airport Extreme setup to forward port 21 to an FTP server on the LAN side of my network. The AE is connected via DSL to my ISP.
When a client from the WAN side connects to my server, the server's LOGS don't list the IP of the client, rather it says the client connected from my assigned WAN IP. For example (fake ip's):
Client ----> AE ----> FTP-SERVER
130.129.12.3 76.99.89.3 10.0.1.2
Log states client connected
from IP: 76.99.89.3
My previous Linksys router, with the same DSL modem and ISP, would report the client as connecting from 130.129.12.3.
Am I missing something in how I am configureing my AE? Or, is this how the AE manages port-forwarding and there's nothing I can do about it?
I used to use firewall rules to control access to the FTP server, i.e. rules set on the server. This can't be done anymore with the AE operating as it does.

Seems to me that the NAT translation in the Airport 802.11n is such that it does not use the incoming IP of clients connecting from the WAN side to a computer on the LAN side. The ingoing and outgoing packets reach their respective destinations, it is just that the AE uses some kind of non-standard routing (at least not that I am used to working with).
This is bad because it prevents the use of some forms of access controls on BSD and Linux servers on the LAN side, TCP Wrappers and iptables for example. This can create obvious security problems when WAN ports are set to forward to such a LAN client. We are already getting hit with robot-like script attacks on our server, this was a problem with our Linksys router, but with the above mentioned tools and scripts we were able to block abusive clients.
Perhaps an Apple can work on resolving this issue in a future firmware release, at least make it an option... Anyone from Apple out there?
