I’m wondering how to open my NAT on a Linksys wireless G router. I play Modernwarfare 2 on Xbox 360 and PC. I’ve already opened ports 80 ( I reckon) and 3074. I also turned on my universal plug n play but I still hve a Moderate NAT on Xbox and a strict NAT on PC. What do I do?

Do you know what ports you need open? It’s quite simple. 80 = HTTP. It would have to be open for anyone on your router to get internet period. 3074 i have no thought what that port is for.
What you want is called Port Forwarding. Login to your router and under administration or Applications (depends on how new or ancient the router is) there you’ll find Port options. Port forwarding is what you want.
Then simply know the IP of your Xbox and place that in as the ip, and type in the port or port ranges to open for the Xbox.
NAT (Network Address Translation) gives you the IP. DONE. What you’re looking into is its close sister called PAT (Port Address Translation).
To be sure i’d use static and save that address as reserved on the router. Then you wont have to worry about your IP changing.
Save and done. Universal Plug and Play (UPNP) is what it sounds like. Plug in…works. USB, Firewire, etc. Nothing to do really with what you want.
Excellent luck
You need to port forward the ports you use to the ip address of the machine that needs it open.

Find your router in the list below.
Also, make sure that the ports you use are open on your PC firewall as well.
