View Full Version : Quick NAT question - using old xbox router for 360

So I looked for this solution online, but didn't have any luck.

1. Connected 360 directly to router and it had Moderate NAT.
2. Opened ports and got an Open NAT.
3. Moved 360 and connected an original xbox wireless router to network and now have a Moderate NAT.
4. Any ideas why I would get a Moderate nat wirelessly and an open when I'm directly connected to my router?

Thanks!

If it is a feature embedded within your router, try to disable the firewall.

It might be forwarding the ports to a specific IP, and the 360's IP might've changed now that its wireless.

as defoomie says, your dhcp server will lease out to the same mac address as often as it can. seeing that you switched to wireless card it has a different mac it has a very high chance of getting a different ip address, since its a "new" device on the network.

Use a static ip for your console and put that device in the dmz or port foward to it. It shouldn't happen again then.
