Hey guys I am new to the clan and thought this would be a good topic and a way to help my clan. I want to first say thanks again for letting me join and also I am not an IT. I got this knowledge through trial and error and also speaking with IT professionals at work. So lets start with DMZ. This is a bad thing and you do not need to do it for open NAT. This puts your xbox out in the open to hack and they can use this to get all your personnel info, credit card # etc. So take it out of DMZ. Next, instead of port forwarding try port trigging. This lets the door open once you trigger it. So for instance if I am playing Ghosts it will only trigger those ports and not all of them. You can look up what ports you can trigger on line. There is a shit ton out there. Triggering helps but not all the time. Now as for your firewall on your router make it low and then check IP Flood protection, port scan detection and then block frag IP packets. I know xbox says take all this off, but once again that is bullshit. Lastly if they want to get you they will. It will just take more time and most likely they will get you in the lobby while waiting for the next game. Things that also help is a really good internet connection. You can test yours at speedtest.com. Also don't use a static IP address. On my router I have it to where they refresh once you get off the internet every 15 seconds. So what that means is next time I connect my xbox to the internet it will most likely have a new IP address. Hopefully this helps and I did this all on the fly so I apologize for jumping around. If you got questions let me know and I will try and answer them.

Another thing I do is in custom setting I go friends only who can communicate on XBOX live. This stops them from msg you and getting your IP easily. However you cant talk to anyone but friends during a game. Kind of frustrating but it works. That's why I joined the clan so I can keep it off to everyone and just allow friends.
