Setting NAT to disabled breaks internet connection

Hello when i set NAT to disabled my internet connections does not work. Why is that? When NAT is disabled what attacks do i leave my self open to? My ultimate goal is to run three xboxes with open NAT setting, how do i do this? the details of my network are below.
Modem --> WRT610n
(everything is using statis IP)
my desktop is plugged into the router via ethernet cable
Wireless devices:
3 xboxes
2 Desktops
1 laptop
we are trying to get all three xboxs running with open NAT how do i do this?

Why would you disable NAT? NAT is required to allow systems with Private IP Addresses to access the internet. For instance, if your PC has an IP Address of 192.168.1.50 it needs NAT to convert this non routable private IP address into something that is routable on the internet. NAT is designed to allow multiple systems within the private IP space to access the internet. Also, for systems that are not acting as 24/7 "Servers" why use static IP addresses? DHCP, when set up properly, eliminates user error by automatically entering the necessary information to allow workstations and game consoles to access the internet. No offense, but if you don't understand NAT and private vs. public IP addressing, you probably shouldn't be entering information into a static IP address config screen...The XBOX saying you have "Moderate" or "Strict" NAT has nothing to do with DHCP vs. Static IP.
Open NAT should work correctly if UPNP is enabled on the router. If it doesn't, you can try opening the ports like the previous responder suggested but it shouldn't be neccessary.
The router does allow for ONE IP address on your internet network to act as a "DMZ Host" which will bypass NAT and give that device unfiltered internet access but you will not be able to have 3 DMZ host devices.

ITunes disabling my internet connection..?

Hi.
Having "upgraded" to 7.4.3.1, iTunes now disables my internet connection whenever I try to upload a cd (after it's found the album artist and song titles). The internet still shows as "connected" but it won't work - no access to the Store or to any websites ("server not found").
Even if I close iTunes then try to disconnect and reconnect it does not work - the connection showing Error 0721. Only closing everything and restarting the computer enables reconnection.
I am using a Thomson Speedtouch 330 modem if that's any help.
Any advice would be most gratefully received - I'm halfway through uploading my cd collection and still have a hundred or so to go... If unresolvable this could be a deal-break stinger.
Cheers

I'm having this problem too when downloading podcasts. Have you found a solution?

"Network disabled because Internet connection is slow"

I have both a Samsung Galaxy S3 and a new Samsung Tab 3. After a recent software upgrade, I was having connectivity issues to wireless routers. The message I got when connecting to a secure wireless network was "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow". I determined that I had no issues with either my phone or tablet on either an unsecure router (WiFi hotspot), or with any older router that broadcast WPA2 personal with either aes OR tkip security. I do have a problem with connecting to any new router that broadcasts BOTH aes and tkip at the same time. When I change the routers under my control to broadcast only aes or tkip, then I can immediately connect both my phone and tablet to the router. There are obviously a lot of routers over which I have no control, so this needs to be fixed. I am pretty sure that there is a problem with the latest Android software upgrade in this regard

I am having the same problem with my Galaxy 3S since the upgrade. Have searched for settings, etc. but haven't found anything I can control. My home network is getting 54.4 down and 5.7 up! Have had this issue nearly everywhere I am connected.
I think it needs a fix - noticed today that Verizon has doubled my DATA for free. May need it if this continues.

Google search does not work. It does not bring back any results and disables my internet connection until I close the brower, wait, and then open it again.

Enabling 'Internet Sharing' disables my internet connection

Hi all, my desktop computer (iMac 27") is hooked up to the internet via ethernet cable/modem. Very simple configuration. I normally share the internet connection (password protected) that my other devices access via wifi.
For months this has been working just fine. today I've been having connectivity issues. I worked with my cable company to determine the issue. what finally solved it was disabling wifi, shutting down the modem & computer. Then boot the modem, afterwards boot the computer.
This worked great, I saw everything working in Network Diagnostics...
Then, I re-enabled Internet Sharing, with the same settings I've used for months, and I saw the connection disappear immediately in Network Diagnostics (Ethernet & Network Settings were green, all else red).
Rebooting the router didn't work. Restarting the computer with with wifi enabled didn't work. I had to disable wifi, turn off everything, boot modem, boot computer to get it to work again. Any time afterwards, where I enabled Internet Sharing the connection would break again.
Please help! Thanks!

I guess he meant to give this link :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c1gs9.html
Also setup DNS in the server and use that for LAN clients or you probably will have to change firewall settings to allow the use of a public DNS to-from LAN.

Itunes 8.2 disables Ethernet/Internet connection

In an effort to upgrade to iTunes 8.2 this morning, I d/l and installed without difficulty. However, afterward, my computer did not recognize my Ethernet and I could not connect to the internet. I restored my computer to an earlier restore point, which restored my Ethernet/internet connection and deleted iTunes 8.2. After some manipulation of files, I now have a working version of iTunes 8.0.2. This is so frustrating, b/c it has taken me several hours of research to get everything functioning as it was before installing the iTunes upgrade.
What do I have to do to get Itunes 8.2 to function on my computer without it disabling my internet access? Apparently without the upgrade to 8.2, I cannot download the software upgrade for my iPhone 3g.
Thanks for your help.

Its amazing, my previous post which was deleted by the powers that be, was solely related to the problem that alot of people are having. Namly Itunes disabling internet connection, because I was extreamly irrate about the whole this I accidentally put a swear word in the post.
How is it that the posts can be read to police against that but not to check on peoples problems and get them sorted.
Seriously apple get this problem sorted, I object to having to join this forum giving away my details so you can now email me, with alot of stuff that I don't even want. One thing I would like is for you to sort this problem out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope that isn't too many exclamation marks, hope it doesn't offend anyone.
I am running XP, when I download Itunes it gets rid of my internet connection, thus making Itunes more useless than it already is.
We are waiting for an answer. As I said in the previous post, DO YOUR JOBS AND GIVE US AN ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And for the Apple discussions staff, if you are reading this, how about a bit of customer service, stop hiding behind your standard signature block and sign your emails with a name. The personal touch would make people less inclined to lose their tempers.

Armsvc.exe (Adobe Acrobat Update Service) breaks Internet Connection

I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI. Whenever the process "armsvc.exe" running, my Internet Connection became "Limited", then after a few seconds, my Internet Modem restart automatically, then "Limited" again then Restart again...
I have to end this process via the Task Manager and my Internet Connection now works normally.
I cannot find out the reason . Please tell me how to fix it. Thanks!

Disable to updates service and simply download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. For XI, you can jump right to 07 update.

How can i set my ipod up without internet connection? Every-time I put my network in it say "Could not find network".

My I-pod wont connect with the network, so I reset my I-pod to see if that was the problem
and now I cant set my I-pod up because my I-pod cant find the network. I cant download I-tunes
on my laptop because I have to have a password that I don't know.

Try either:
- On a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection
- Go to a different location and try connecting to another wifi network

Setting up BD Live when internet connection in another room

Hello,
Just got a Sony BD and I want to connect it to BD Live in my living room. However, my computer and internet connection are in the family room. I don't want to send a LAN cable from my router to the back of the BD player. Can anyone give me some suggestion as to how to connect to the internet on my BD player? What adapters I might need. I'm sure it's probably simpler than I thought. Thanks for your help!

I second Dave's suggestion.
As an added alternative, you may want to take this opportunity to set up a wireless home network. Especially if you own(or plan to soon buy) a laptop. This will be a more expensive approach overall, but the rewards will greater.

Latest upgrade disables my internet connection

I upgraded and now I can't access the internet from my home. It tells me that it is checking my internet connection and then it "...disconnects WiFi because the connection is too slow". Really??? This needs to be fixed, what can I do?? We use a Verizon 5-spot for connectiveity (we live in the boonies...) and get only 2G sometimes 3G-- If I can't use the internet at home, I need to switch carriers and phones!

Wifi connection issues after update

Time Machine stuck on preparing backup with in turn breaks internet connectivity.

Hi all!
I recently started using Time Machine (on a 1TB USB 2.0 external hard drive) on my MBP (Early 2011, 13") and I've noticed that it constantly gets stuck on the "Preparing backup" stage, which can only be unstuck by pulling the drive or hard rebooting the computer (otherwise it gets stuck on the gray post-logout screen forever). What's more interesting is that while Time Machine is stuck I am unable to use any of my browsers because DNS resolution fails outright (although I can still visit IP addresses and perform manually DNS queries and start SSH sessions in Terminal.app). If I pull the drive or reboot the computer, my internet connectivity is restored. As a relatively new Mac user this behavior is quite puzzling; has anybody else encountered this type of problem?
Thanks!
Max

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Setting up itunes account without internet connection

I wanted to set up my itunes account, but I do not have internet access for my home computer.
Can I set up my account on a computer that is not my own?
Would this cause trouble with syncing my iphone with my own computer?

Rocky,
You are right, and I apologize, I misunderstood the OPs question.
Actually if you simply setup your network, but do not connect a cable to the internet, then you have your insulated network. As I understand it, with this setup the amber may still be flashing because it detects that you are not connected to the internet. But that won't prevent your local wireless network from working.
To do this click "Internet" in the tool bar of the Airport Utility --> At bottom select Off (Bridge Mode)" beside "Connection Sharing".
Let me know if this helps.

Help setting up Webstar Cable Modem internet connection

Okay, i FINALLY have cable internet...and i just realized I don't know how to set it up....i've never been in the situation before...can any of you give me some resources?
.:title edited by dibblethewrecker:.

Okay, I'm using an onboard ethernet NIC. I tried using the ubuntu live cd, but it won't automagically set up my network either.
I figured out my LAN card isn't even detected by my router so I'm using onboard NIC for the time being...my router detects that one.
By the way I got a router....it is a LinkSys Wireless-G Broadband Router--model WRT54G. But I'm not using the wireless portion on it. My girlfriends computer is hooked up to it with windows, and it connects fine.
I'm still not having much luck. I went to that cable-modem howto in wiki, followed it to tdlp's DHCP mini-howto...it makes reference to a script called /etc/rc.d/inet...I don't have that one...should I?
I would still appreciate any advice from you guys...thank you in advance.

Set up wizard claims no internet connection

Trying to run set up wizard for befw11s4 v.4 on win vista. The wizard keeps telling me that my computer is not connected to the internet, check the connection. Not sure where I went wrong.

Go to your internet browser and as if you were going to type in a web site address, type 192.168.1.1. The password should be admin unless you changed it.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.
