If you are using a Dell Truemobile 2300 router and getting a NAT of "moderate" or "strict" you will need to make a few changes to your router. First view the xbox network settings in the dashboard. You can view them by selecting edit network settings or run test network and after completion click on IP address more information. Record the IP address of the xbox 360. Specifically the last digit. Now go to your computer and enter into your browser:
http://192.168.2.1
This will bring up the Dell TrueMobile advanced settings program. The username and password default is admin
After entering your password, click the advanced settings tab on the horizontal nav bar. Then click Port Forward Settings on the left nav bar. Check the Enable DMZ Host box. Enter the IP address of the xbox 360 you wrote down earlier. Most often you will only need to enter the last digit. Click submit. Your router should now have updated and the NAT settings should be open.
Do not follow the Configuring Your Dell TrueMobile 2300 Router for Gaming instructions that are available online. Or if you do skip steps 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7. These steps reserve an IP address and then changes your xbox 360 IP address. By following my instructions and skipping these steps the IP address remains available and DMZ enabling remains possible. Good luck.
