I'm having problems in a couple of games revolving around my NAT settings - Gears 2, Pure and now Forza 3 which is completely inaccessible for me online.

I've done a search and read some articles on portforwarding.com which seem helpful but I'm unsure about the order that I need to do things, like changing settings on the livebox, my pc and my 2 360's, plus is it likely to make a mess of my PS3 & iPhone settings too.

Everything is connected wirelessly BTW.

Help & advice greatly appreciated.

If your router has uPnP disabled, enable that. If that makes no difference, then forward the ports on your router that portforward.com suggests...

No need to change any settings on your PC, PS3 or iPhone. You'll only need to alter the settings on your 360s if your router doesn't assign them the same IP each time (not as each other!), in which case you'll need to assign them a static IP each. Turn them on/off a few times to see if the router assigns them the same IP each time & make a note of each IP as you'll need them when you setup the port forwarding
