Hi there,
I've been having problems chosing a networking setup to suit my needs after my current one stopped working.
Current setup was:
Virgin 10mb Cable Line > Virgin Modem > D-Link DSL-924 >
That is then Split 4-way (My PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Belkin N Wireless F5D8233-4v3 Router)
From the Belkin N Wireless Router its split (Brothers PC, Brothers Xbox 360) then also Wi-fi is used for wireless devices etc in the house including my Sisters PC.
The whole setup worked perfectly for the the PC's and Wireless devices but had a few problems with gaming on the Xbox 360's regarding NAT issues and drop outs.
The D-Link router blew up last night so now I've just got the Belkin N Wireless one, PC's etc all working fine but massive problems yet again gaming!
Setup is now:
Virgin 10mb Cable Line > Virgin Modem > Belkin N Wireless Router
(My PC, 360, PS3, Brothers PC) Then Wireless to Brothers Xbox and the rest
Trouble is if I have my 360 in the DMZ his Xbox NAT type will be 'Strict', I tried port forwarding everything on mine and running it that way, no joy, UnPD enabled and disabled, no joy, mine only seems to appear as 'Open' when in the DMZ.
Even when playing on my Xbox online with it in the DMZ as 'Open' and my brother playing on his Xbox using wireless and NAT being 'Strict' I still found myself being disconnected and signed out of Live for no reason
Basically I'd like to know what I router would be better to upgrade to and if I bought a new one what are the chances I'd be able to successfully setup both 360's to have 'Open' NAT types?
BIG thanks if anyone can help me out!
