How to Open ports on your router for xbox live. (wrong forum) If your NAT (Network Adress Translation) is "moderate" or "strict" you will only be able to play with people who have a open NAT. You can find out what you are by going to "System" on the Xbox 360 dashboard, click on "Network Settings" and test your connection. Upon passing all tests it will tell you your NAT status at the bottom.
If your using a router or other gateway device you need to port forward certain ports.
Open up your start menu, click on "Run..." type 'Command' once the command window comes up type, 'ipconfig /all' take note of your "Default gateway", you might need to scroll down.
Open up a browser window. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera...
Type your default gateway and it should access your router.
You may have to enter your username and password, if you havent changed it, it should still be default, 'admin' for both username and password, sometimes 'Username' and 'Password' if you cant figure it out contact the maker.
First off make sure UPnP (Universal plug and play)
Now, this varies for all routers, but usually its under Advanced Settings or something along those lines, some even have a port forward tab, others are called application sharing or using.
Then open ports, or open application ports or assign application/game.
The following ports must be opened...
UDP 88 UDP 3074 TCP 3074
..Sorted.
Any troubles email me.
If your default gateway doesnt work, or you cant get into your router go to www.portforward.com and look up your router. Thank you for choosing FixYa! Your rating will help me succeed and continuously help a lot people.
