    Hey lads! I want to open some ports on my 3 Mobile Broadband but I don't know how. For some strange reason, xbox live started telling me that my connection is NAT Strict. It wasn't before which is strange but would anyone know how I can open the ports because I have a good feeling that I'll get better online play as well with more ports open. Thanks.

    It's not a router, and I don't think you can. All ports should be open, unless Three are blocking them, or your IP address is being blocked by Xbox Live, a possibility since you share IP address on Three with hundreds of other users.

    I remember way back when I used 3 they had ports blocked like SMTP/IMAP and that's what forced me to change from them so unless there's a router at your net connection there's probably no way to open up ports that are closed.

    If your xbox is getting connection through your PC which has the broadband then make sure all ports are opened up on your firewall

    *Edit*: I'd also like to throw it out there that expecting anything other than sub-standard online play with midband/3G solutions wouldn't be the best idea.
