2 Xbox 360s - NAT issue - Have researched

demiskus · 07-24-2008, 07:16 PM

This has been an ongoing issue that I have sadly been unable to topple for some time now. I could not find a topic addressing my problem. Any advise would be much appreciated.

I can get one xbox to register an Open NAT no problem, but as soon as a second (my brother's) xbox comes into the picture I am unable to hold both at an Open NAT status. One or both are reduced to Moderate or Strict. My setup is as follows...

Router = Linksys.........BEFSR41v4.3
Hub (both) = Dynex.....DX-EHB4v1.1

Modem -> Router -> Hub -> Xbox & Computer
.......................^-> Hub -> Xbox & Computer
.......................^-> Computer

I've tried alot of methods and combinations of UPnP, DMZ, and Port Forwarding. None of which completely corrected the problem. Would anybody care to save my sanity? This is driving me nuts, haha. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
