mine first actual guide to make your xbox nat OPEN.

word explanation:

modem: the first device in your network.

router: the second device in your network. -> if its a switch then just do "modem-pc & xbox".

Fixed or static IP: normaly the IP-adress is "dynamically" -> it can change. but when you fix it then it will always stay the same.

if you have this network "modem-router-pc & xbox" then do this guide till step 15 and then goto the part "Fixed or static IP at your router"

if you have this network "modem-pc & xbox" then just do till step 24"

Find your ip-adress, subnetmask, DNS,...

1) Start up your computer.

2) Go to the start button and then click run.

3) In the small window type cmd and hit enter.

4) Now a black window will pop up type in here: ipconfig/all

5) Now alot of numbers and stuff poping up.

6) There is somewhere: ip adress, subnet mask, dns-server

You need those later. DON'T CLOSE THIS WINDOW YOU NEED IT!!

Fixed IP at your xbox

7) Start up your xbox.

8) When at the dashbord go to the right tab.

9) There is somewhere NETWORK CONNECTION. choose that.

10) Here you get test xbox connection,... and edit settings choose that.

11) Now there are 2 planes. click on the first one. and choose manual.

12) For those who have the computer on the same modem / router as the xbox its quite easy.

LOOK AT THE STEP "Find your ip-adress, subnetmask, DNS,..."!!!!!! if you don't get step 13 and 14

13) Put in the ip-address a bit different as that from your computer (only change the last 3 digits in something else below 255. example: my ip from my computer is 10.0.0.2 and from my xbox is 10.0.0.199

14) Put the rest like it is on your computer.

15) Next click the next plane and put the DNS-servers there.
