Important!
Let me preface this in saying I am a college student in an Apartment complex with families and, other college students.
I used this guide and used the DMZ setting. It worked initially then after a few days went back to moderate. Stunned and perplexed, I continued to work and tried port forwarding. To my dismay, it resulted in a STRICT setting. I was at a loss. I scoured the Internet and Bungie's own help section to no avail. Then, during my odyssey, I came across something that said each Router has the same generic IP address (198.162.1.1) Also, it said phones (cordless)operate in the same 2.4 GHz range. Then, it clicked. If phones can interfere with the wireless router, then so can other routers. Now, back to my preface, I live in an apartment complex. There are atleast 5 other routers using the SAME IP ADDRESS. So, I simply changed my Router's IP Address and here we are, a Instant, Open NAT.
So, if you are in an apartment complex or a neighborhood where you are picking up several routers at once, simply change your router's IP address (I used 172.16.100.XX, something simple and easy). I thought this was a unique and odd situation, however if you tried this guide and many others without being able to find a solution, just try mine.
Edit: DragonDraconis, nearly every Linksys Cisco routers will have the same exact set-up (Minus details depending on the exact model and which bands it can broadcast on such as B,G,N,N+,N++).
