Hi everyone!

I have two xboxes360 and only 1 router, and it appears that I cant get open NAT on both of them. Port forwarding doesnt seem to work as both Xboxes need the same ports open. And DMZ can only handle 1 ip address.. Currently the first 360 that comes online will be open NAT and the other one will end up being strict which really restricts the connection when we play together.

I read somewhere that getting an extra router would solve the problem but is there any other/cheaper solution?

Thx in advance

You need a router that supports UPnP. It should then just work, no need to configure port forwarding or DMZ (each xbox configures its own ports using UPnP - they choose different ports automatically if the ones they want are already in use).

you can have 2 xboxes on the same router, just manually assign the IP on each xbox and port forward to the XBL live ports.


What router do you have?

Thank you for answering

I will try port forwarding one xbox and dmz the other, and I will write back here when I have tried it.

The router is a "cisco epc2425" (some kind of mix between router/modem). I also have a "Linksys BEFSR41" that is not in use atm.
