Hi everyone.
I'm on AOL B/Band, using a Netgear dg834g V3 router. Connecting using a Ethernet cable from my router to my XBOX 360.
The problem is when i'm on XBOX Live it says my NAT is set to moderate and will not connect to say Halo 3 custom games, because of my NAT settings being on moderate.
I have search through a few dozen pages on here to find and answer, also tried bungie.net, and nothing.
Is there an easy way to change the NAT setting to either LOW or OPEN?
Thanks for any help.
Viva....

| Hi Dave, I too am using a Netgear DG834G (v5) with 2x Xbox 360's (Live). First of all at default, the router has what's called "UPnP" (Universal Plug n Play). What that means is that UPnP should theoreticaly automatically open up the appropriate ports which are... TCP 3074 UDP 88, 3074 Unfortunately, UPnP isn't consistent in opening the appropriate ports! So, what I done and would advise you to do the same is to disable UPnP and manually open the ports within the admin page of the router. In order to manually configure the ports for your Xbox 360, you will need to setup "Static" IP addresses on the LAN side via router, PC(s) & Xbox. At default your LAN computer(s) & Xbox 360 will be "DHCP". If you need more info take a look here... http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/DG834G/ http://portforward.com/networking/staticip-xbox360.htm Send me a PM if you need any more help

Microsoft are making it up again!
Never heard the terms low, moderate or open applied to NAT.
Makes no sense whatsoever as NAT is what allows many PCs to share a single internet IPaddress.
I think they mean firewall and JD has detailed how to sort that out.

Just wanna say thanks for the help, i opened my router settings and checked the UPNP box and fired up my XBOX 360 and it worked fine, my NAT now says OPEN, rather than MODERATE.
Thanks a lot JD.
