Xbox 360 router problems, pls help!

Okay, I'm writing this down here so that I can point people to it instead of having to write in msn the problem over and over again.

So anyway, I seem to have a problem with my router so I can’t access certain things on xbox live. I can play in random matches, but I couldn’t connect to you because my NAT setting was apparently set to Moderate, instead of “Open”. I tried to access my router and I can’t find the setting: The only NAT related setting I found was “enabled” or “disabled”, which I don’t think is the answer.

I’ve been looking at this thread on the Linksys forums about Xbox360 Nat problems, here:

It sounds pretty helpful, unfortunately I’m not at home right now so I can’t do any of the testing right now. I don’t know about all of these things about Port Forwarding, TCP, UDP, DMZ, or uPnP, but I’ll probably find out later. Another concern I have is with the Xbox Live Router Compatibility list, found here:

My router, the Linksys WRT300N v1.1 is not on there, so I’m a little bit concerned. I’ve read a few replies in that thread above where users went and bought new routers and then it worked fine, which I might have to do, I’m not sure.

I will go home tonight and try different variations of solutions, with uPnP, DMZ, etc… although I have no idea what it means, heh. But if you have any suggestions or if you think you can solve the problem, let me know, thanks.

Cheers,

So there ya have it.
