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.

  • I am trying to change my NAT type from strict to Open so i can play with my friends but i dont know how to do it on my Apple Airport. Help please?!?!

    .

    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 AirPort > 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 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 AirPort > 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 AirPort.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Trying to change NAT type to open from strict

    I'm trying to change my NAT type on my PS3 from strict to open. My router is a WRT120N and I'm using cable internet. Please help me, and sort of dumb it down so I can understand what you're saying. Thanks a ton!! 
    fake watches

    i think strict NAT type is a double-NAT setup. it would really depend on your modem. what's the brand and model of your modem? does it have routing capabilities? what IP address does it give off?

  • Changing NAT type from moderate to open for PS3 on...

    Hello,
    Pretty simple really.
    I want to be able to change my NAT type from Moderate to Open whilst playing FIFA 12 on the PS3.
    I am using a BT Home Hub 2. I have read various posts about Port Forwarding and DMZ but what is the method that will open the NAT type indefinitely. I have read that it can only be altered temporarily due to the Home Hub updating it's settings periodically and re-enabling the firewall.
    Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Matt

    Hi Matt,
    Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. Take a look here for some information on port forwarding. I've also found this whcih you might find useful. Let me know if it helps.

  • XBOX LIVE. HOW TO CHANGE NAT TYPE FROM MODERATE TO OPEN, HELP:(

    I am completely stumped. I am not a technical person but I'll explain the best I can. I have an airport express.. that's connected to my westell wirespeed modem which gives wireless internet to all my computers at my house.
    i also play xbox. i use the internet sharing feature on one of our mac mini's to connect to the xbox. however, the nat type is moderate. i have no idea how to change this to open. please help cuz its frustrating because i pay 60 dollars a year and i do not get the most of my subscription. for example, i can't join party's or join some games..
    and also, i read online that if i put my ip address to the address bar, you could change your nat type. but the problem is, every ip address i put into the address bar, nothing comes up. in my airport utility, it says my ip address is like 10.0.1.1.
    i am so confused. please help!!!!!!!!!

    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.
    Gaming consoles such as Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, and Wii™ often encounter NAT related issues resulting to poor gaming experience. This problem is resolved by checking the settings on your router which contribute to NAT issues.
    This is due to the built-in firewall of the router and to get past this, you will need to open ports on the router. You may do this by either doing Port Forwarding or Port Triggering. Once the ports are successfully opened, the NAT Type issue will change to Open or Moderate thus, making the gaming console work.

  • 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.
    a fustrated,
    -Clay

    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.

  • Need help opening NAT type to OPEN on a model WRT54GS router for xbox 360

    I have tried from other people's advice and when i test Xbox Live i always get a Moderate NAT type. I am becoming frustrated with how it is not working and I am hoping someone can help me. Please leave advice/suggestions and thank you for your time.

    Open the setup page of the router using 192.168.1.1 by putting the password as admin with username as blank & click the Administration tab & on the same page you will see UPNP.You need to select it as disable in order to help opening NAT type to OPEN.
