    Im on linksys WRT160Nv3


    Here are all the Ports I have forwarded:

    80~80 TCP 3074~3074 both 88~88 UDP 53~53 both 
    80~80 TCP 3074~3074 both 88~88 UDP 53~53 both 

     I restarted my router and checked my connection on 360, it says my NAT type is moderate.

    Also, I'm connected to my 360 through this. I'm guessing that may be the problem.

    Finally, my UPnP is enabled, and I tried to Dynamic Routing (RIP), but I can only enable it if I disable NAT... here I'll just show ya:

    See? What the hell?

    Yea, was gonna say, put in in the DMZ.
    I had to give my 360 a hard-coded IP to keep the NAT open.
    Otherwise it would reset all the time.

    I can't speak about your particular situation, but for me I wasn't able to have open NAT until I changed settings on my DSL modem.

    Old setup: DSL modem handled logging into AT&T

    New setup: DSL modem didn't log in. Log in handled by my router which is connected to my DSL modem. Result --> Open NAT.

    Not sure if it applies to your situation, but I remember trying a lot of what you're trying and having none of it work until I did this. I did this a long time ago so I don't remember the names of the modes and settings I had to change but I think you get the gist of it.

    Good luck.

    I also have a Linksys. My solution was to turn off uPnP, and have just one port forwarded (well triggered since I have multiple xboxes): 3074. I messed with it for hours and hours messing with all kinds of ports, and it ended up being uPNP that was screwing things up. Just disabling it by itself didn't help; but it did finally allow the port forwarding to take effect, which did solve my problem. Now I'm open NAT on both boxes.


    To repeat: DISABLE UPNP, FORWARD (or trigger) PORT 3074. LEAVE DMZ OFF AND DON'T MESS WITH ROUTING


    After it started working without uPNP, I started narrowing down which triggers were necessary. Turns out you just need the one for 3074. Use port triggering instead of forwarding.

    @demontium: Glad it worked. It was a huge headache for me. The lack of uPNP has had a minimal impact. The few apps that require forwarding (PlayOn and uTorrent) have been kind enough to provide me a selectable port to add to my forward (not trigger) list.
