Hey!

I have had my Xbox 360 and my BT Voyager 205 ADSL Router for about a year now and I haven't had any problems with it untill I recently got COD 3 and I have discovered that I need to set my NAT to open but I dont know how to go about doing this.

If anyone has any idea on what I could do to achieve this I would apreciate it if you could help me.

Thanks!

hi and welcome to geeks to go,

HERE is a site on your router/modem the may help you do the port forwarding for the Xbox.

If your ISP uses PPPoE you can bridge the modem and use a PPPoE connection from the Xbox, it has a native client, and you won't need port forwarding.

Hey thanks for that!
I kind of got it sorted though.I decided I would just make a DMZ and that seemed to solve the problem.Bu I have another problem with that now.It seems that after a few days the IP address that I added keeps dissapearing and I need to keep adding it.Does anyone know how I couls solve this?

Thaks!
