    How can it be done?

    [Edit]

    I'm trying to get Red Faction 3 to work but every time I try to play online I get warned that my Nat is closed and I can't find anything in the router's NAT settings that would make it open?

    Don't even bother. Get yourself a different modem.

    Set it to low security settings when you first log in. You don't need to do anything else AFAIK.

    I didn't anyway.

    yeah should have said, my post is for 360 to work.

    God it seems complicated for PS3 and I thought the 360 low option was stupid as I had configured the ports in advanced but it ignores that if setting is on medium on the basic settings page.

    Its just a crap piece of software for configuring TBH. I'm not with them anymore, with Digiweb fixed wireless and it all just works with my own router with no configuration problems whatsoever out of the box.
