How to change NAT type to open on linksys E2000 router for xbox 360?

Q. I have my laptop wirelessly connected to my Linksys E2000 router. I then have my xbox connected to my laptop via ethernet cable. If I leave my network settings as automatic I can connect to xbox live. However when I do that my NAT is moderate.

A. I would set up a manual IP address on your Xbox 360, set up port forwarding on the router as per Microsoft's article:
http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/kb/error-your-nat-type-strict.aspx?kbid=979000

and then make sure the wireless networking on your laptop is set up as a bridge.


Help with setting up a LAN connection to router?
Q. Hi, I have a Linksys E2000 router and a computer running Windows 7. I want to run an Ethernet cable from my computer to the LAN Port on the back of the router, but when I do, the computer shows no sign of reaction. Is there anything I have to do on the computer to make this work?

A. First make sure the Access Point (Linksys E2000 router) has 3 wires hooked up to it

1. The Power wire (supports power to console)

2. SKIP THIS STEP IF U DO NOT WANT ANY INTERNET ONLY LAN CONNECTION...................Hook up the wire ur getting internet from, ex) I use AT&T so I have a DSL (High speed phone cable) coming out of the wall that gets split, and one of the split wire is hooked up to my access point, the other is for my phone service

3. The ethernet cable which is connecting ur Linksys router to ur computer/laptop.

Here is what to do on the computer.....

Down at the bottom right there should be a funny looking icon with two computer monitors overlapping each other... they might have a red X on it

1.Right click it
2.then click Connect to a Network
3. On the "Show" drop-down click All
4. Hopefully you've already set up SSID (name of access point) and a Password for the access point... if u haven't done so already ur router's manual should be able to tell u how to set that up.
5. Now if u already set up the access point simply find the SSID and click on it and on the bottom right hand corner it should say connect, click it.
6. Put in the password and click Connect
7.Hopefully it says Successfully Connected. Enjoy!

If u still have a problem contact ur Internet provider and ask if their internet is up and running If they say Yes ... Contact router manufacturers.

Hope I answered ur question.


Bought my friend a router (house warming gift) and apparently we have to change the settings from DHCP to PPOE?
Q. Because she has an ATT DSL connection instead of cable internet. It's a Cisco Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless N-Router. So....how do I do that?

A. check the documentation for a number like 192.168.1.1 or something like that
and this number will take you to the router setup page. then just navigate through the
page to find it or consult the manual and it will show you exactly where to go.


How to change NAT type to open on linksys E2000 router for xbox 360?
Q. can someone give me a step by step guide on how to do it? thanks

A. For the E2000 router:

note on the instructions below: I'm using an assigned manaul IP address for your Xbox of 192.168.1.20. You can use a different address but it will need to be 192.168.1.??. It should be something that is not already in use... you're usually safe to go 1.20 or higher. I am also going on the assumption that the default address of the router was not changed (192.168.1.1).

Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer that connected to your home network. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter... A password screen should come up unless there is no password set. If the default has never been changed, use admin in lower case for both.

On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...

Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...

Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...

1) On the first line in Application box type in XBOX1 or some other name, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 53, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box.

b) Do another entry (XBOX2 perhaps), start = 80, end = 80, protocol = TCP
c) Do another entry (XBOX3 perhaps), start = 88, end = 88, protocol = UDP
d) Do another entry (XBOX4 perhaps), start = 3074, end = 3074, protocol = Both

click Save Settings once done...

2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...

3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...

On your Xbox 360:

1) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox...
a) IP Address: 192.168.1.20
b) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
c) Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
d) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox. Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...

6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...

7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it should connect.

If this does not work, give us any error messages you get.
