How To Get an Open NAT on the Xbox One for Better Connections

The Xbox One is just over a day old, and for the most part it’s a solid next-gen gaming console. One of its many facets that makes it a worthy addition to your gaming lineup is its robust Xbox Live network, which has been refined for years on the Xbox 360. Chatting with friends, or joining multiplayer and co-op matches efficiently is what made the 360 stand out during the last gen, so one would think that the same environment would be present on the Xbox One. For the most part it is, but just like the 360 it takes a little elbow grease with your network settings to get the best possible environment for chatting and gaming with friends.

This is good information to have out their for people. The issue is that for best results you should have an open NAT. Unfortunately a lot of ISP's are set up so that you end up with a moderate or strict NAT and you have to do set up a static IP and forward ports which is a pain in the butt. I have complained to my ISP for years and they would not change it which left me having to use port forwarding. You can also use port triggering if your modem/gateway/router supports it or in some cases DMZ. It works fine but is a pain in the butt. Once ISP's make the eventual switch to IPv6 from IPv4 the NAT issues will disappear.

Yeah, sounds like a pain. I'm not computer savy so this hurts my brain. Lol.

NAT 3 - Traffic is being blocked by the ISP/Cable/DSL router
NAT 2 - Your cable/DSL modem is connected to a wifi or wired router
NAT 1 - Direct connect from modem to PC or Mac

my primary DNS comes up as 2601:1:9080:b1:cad7:19ff:fed8: d648

how do I enter that?

My secondary is just the 192.168.1.1

yesmynameissumo3798d ago

That primary DNS entry is IPv6. Disable it on your router.

yesmynameissumo3798d ago (Edited 3798d ago )

Happy to help! Good luck! Your primary DNS should be the IP of your router (192.168.1.1). The secondary address you could use something like GoogleDNS - 8.8.8.8

for open nat i just connect my ps3/360 directly to my cable modem...host 4 days

BoriboyShoGUN3798d ago

Good guide, A few buddies of mine needed this on the 360. Im not sure if they've changed anything but we dont seem to have any issues on the PS4.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5063d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5063d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5062d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
