    Hey guys,

    I can connect to xbox live no problem, even by testing the connection everything seems ok. But when I recently went to play multiplayer in COD it kept looking for games to connect to and didnt find any. Then I noticed NAT type was strict. Also in the xbox settings there is nothing set up for the PPPoE settings which I did have for Eircom but dont have for UPC.

    Im using a cisco modem and funnily enough it states on UPC that the premium tech support are the only ppl who deal with support for network settings but dont give advice for cisco routers! Can anyone please help me?

    On your computer, up a tthe address bar, (http://blah blah blah) type in "192.168.1.1" without the quotes. You might be asked for a password and user name, so it will either be "Username : Admin ; Password : admin" or you can check on your router and it will have the name and password written on it.

    Once in, go to NAT, and change it to OPEN.

    That should help, i dont have a Cisco router, but thats a fairly basic on how to change it. Give it a try ^_^

    Ye Ive tried to find NAT settings on the cisco configuration page but there doesn't seem to be anything relating to NAT. Ive gone into a few other forums and set some port forwarding options but still nothing.

    Couple of things to try: Go to http://portforward.com/ and do all the steps like setting up a static i.p address for your console. It should be fairly straightforward to do. Then when you alter the settings on 192.168.1.1 or whatever, you should forward your settings to the i.p of the console for it to work Or If your cisco router has DMZ ( Demilitarized Zone) on the configuration page enter the i.p you have put down for the console and it will open all ports between the console and your connection.
