Xbox 360 Port Forwarding – Fix NAT Issue

This video quickly shows you how to setup your Xbox 360 to always have the same IP address on your local network as well as forwarding 4 ports on your Router to the Xbox.  This will help your Xbox connectivity and will resolve the issue if your NAT Type was listed as “Moderate” or “Strict.”

1. Open your Internet browser
2. Sign-in to your Router by entering your Router’s IP Address and clicking Enter.  If you don’t know how to determine your Router’s IP Address watch one of these videos to find out:

4. Click the DHCP Reservation button
5. Select the Xbox from the list of DHCP Clients; the Xbox will typically be the entry with no name
6. Click the Add Clients button
7. Provide a descriptive name for the Xbox

10. Click the Applications & Gaming tab
11. Enter the following 4 Ports and forward them to the Xbox’s IP Address that we just defined in step 8
