my Nat is on moderate and i need to get it open… problem with multiplay i think… Pls help

My NAT is always open and has been throughout MW3 and BO2. It used to switch from moderate to strict to open in BO1. I think resetting my router helped that problem.

My nat type is moderate and I've done almost everything I can with port forwarding to get it to Open, but have been unsuccessful. I would like someone to help this guy and me out please. It's not a problem I don't think playing on Moderate nat type, but
I do see it lag sometimes. Can someone help, please? Thank you.

@taidara:

yes I read it and it´s proofed. For example:4 players me (open NAT) 1 player host also open NAT. 2. player moderate NAT and third player strict NAT. So the moderate and strict can´t connect to each other. It means that I co host the session. If a packet
goes from player 2 to player 3 it goes to my router and get forwarded. These are the sessions I see. The problem is: This is a slowdown of my connection. So if I there are many strict NAT´s and some moderate NAT´s the open NAT has to co host the session. And
if there are game mechanics like lag compensation all goes wrong because player 2 and 3 in my example can´t connect the direct way to each other they connect to another open NAT and the open NAT owner gets penalized. I don´t know if it increases latency -
but I think so.

So for me it´s clear - for Gaming a moderate NAT is MUCH MUCH better than an open NAT. The only Problem is: I need an open NAT because of some partys I can´t join

xbox live parties should connect to another port - so I can forward the party port and not the gaming port - but that will never happen.

I found this article on how to enable Open NAT. It also explains why this occurs. it is an interesting read and afterwards you should be able to figure out why you get this problem and how to fix it yourself. I worked for me!

Well, we got one thing going for us! At least this is a bit closer!

What kind of security software do you have on your PC? This would be like McAfee or Norton anti-virus programs.

Also, please run through the steps on
this article again for me now that we have your NAT to moderate.
