xbox 360 nat / linksys wrt160n v3 / issues

i have a linksys wrt160n v3 router

i read online about if you have trouble connecting with other xbox 360 gamers that you may have a "nat" issue with your connection

and

i also read online that if you have a wired connection to your router/modem that you wouldn't have this issue....


--------------------------

first of all to see if you have ANY connection issues, run the  "test xbox live connection" on the xbox

if you get a NAT error, that says something like you may have limited connection, then this is what you have to do....

--------------------------


on your xbox in the...
-----  NETWORK SETTINGS
----------  CONFIGURE NETWORK
get the last octet of the "ip address" (see pic below)

in MY case, i need the ".100" (yours will prob be different)

once you have that NUMBER, then your done with the xbox,, onto the router...

--------------------------

to get into the router, you go to your web browser on your computer and type in the address 192.168.1.1
when it prompts you for a username and password, enter "admin" for both

--------------------------


once in the router,, make your settings look like mine in these 3 pictures...

make sure to SAVE SETTINGS on the bottom of ALL 3 PAGES !!!

after you do this, re-run the "test xbox live connection" on your xbox and you should get NO errors
