I opened up my nat and my online games started lagging.

I changed my nat back to medium and no lag.
Ah, hm, I'm no network engineer, but I don't think this problem had to do with Open NAT. Whatever the problem was, it likely had nothing to do with your NAT. Maybe Master Chef can shed more light on the likely issues.

I once heard an old man say " Years ago, i sold my trumpet for something to eat, and know i know it would be better to die of hunger."

I upload a ton of Halo clips on my YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe.

This is definite sticky material.

I couldn't get it to work, then again my connection is set up very strange. I have a router set up in the other room, with the signal being received by my laptop and ICS enabled on the laptop to share with the ethernet cable which is hooked up to the xbox.

I know.............I need a longer cable.

  • 06.17.2010 7:59 AM PDT

yeah ive got my xbox ethernet cable plugged directly into the modem and when i test it says theres no problems but (sorry for throwing this name in) when i play call of duty in the bottom corner it tells me my NAT is strict because i do have a problem connecting to certain friends on some games

I don't have a router, I've only got a modem

Is it a modem or a modem and router in one? Just a modem would only have one ethernet output and you'd have to change cables everytime you changed between the xbox and the computer. A router typically has 4 outputs.


If you have your Cat 5(or 6) cable connected directly into the modem, maybe buy a switch instead of a router?
This way you can have as many devices connected to the net as there are ports.

This is what I have at home, but unfortunately I have a lackluster satellite connection, which doesn't let me play online lag-free.

Btw great thread mate.

I'd test it out now to see the diference, but my gf is coming over to watch a movie. ;)

Thanks again!

Are you sure that this thread is for dummies?

Haha, I thought the same thing.
But this does work (well, I haven't read the revised version).
I've had to do it twice now for two separate houses. No problems after either time. Glorious!

  • 06.17.2010 11:19 AM PDT

Thread Saved eh, again.

I will have a go at opening my sisters modems NAT later tonight or tommorow.

Thanks Master Chef!

Hey, I'm no engineer either, i'm a financial planner. The guide knows more than i do because of the revisions i made from feedback. Opening your NAT can only help the situation, just don't fool around with other switches and dials that you don't know what they do.

How to make your Xbox 360's IP address Static:
Now you are ready to go back to your Xbox 360's dashboard. In My Xbox, scroll right and select system settings, network settings, edit settings. There are two options- IP settings and DNS settings. Go into either, change the setting to manual and then enter all of the codes you have written down on your paper, with one difference. The last digit of the IP address needs to be changed to a number preferably between 50 and 250. Choose your favourite and write it down on the paper as your Xbox's Local IP address. While you're at it choose the numbers of your computer/s too, the houses that they will live in.

I cannot find the edit settings option.

Yeah, it helped me too. I managed to open my NAT after around an hour. Took time, but i hope it was all worth it.

Welcome to the last day of the rest of your life.

Um, when i go to 'Test Xbox LIVE Connection' It shows:
Xbox 360 ooOoo Network ooOoo Internet ooOoo XBOX LIVE

There is no NAT :(
Help will be much appreciated.

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

Good thread, that took some time. I do have one little complaint, I think you need a few more links to other more "well known" sites that offer help with this kinda thing. Maybe even point people in the right direction for buying hardware.

I like what you're doing with this thread but I think you could make it a one stop shop for many users. Some people don't understnd just how powerful google can be.

  • 06.18.2010 12:23 PM PDT

Good thread, will use this. Cheers dude \m/

  • 06.18.2010 12:47 PM PDT

Excellent!

*thread saved*

Hopefully this helps out even more people as the original thread did three years ago, and it looks like you've made some nice revisions, too.

Agreed. Sticky?
