good morning

A NAT (Network Address Translation) type of "Strict" can cause problems when playing online games, as it can limit the ability of other players to connect to your console. There are a few things you can try to help improve your NAT type:

Restart your router: This can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.

Enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play): UPnP allows devices on your network to automatically configure the necessary port forwarding rules for online play.

Check for firmware updates: Make sure that your router is running the latest firmware, as this can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.

Forward the necessary ports: Depending on the game you are playing, you may need to manually forward specific ports on your router to allow for a more open NAT type. You can find a list of ports that may need to be forwarded for your game on the support website for the game or console you are using.

Contact your ISP: If you have tried the steps above and are still having problems, it may be worth contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see if there are any issues on their end that could be causing the problem.

I hope these suggestions help!

Error: Your NAT type is set to strict (or moderate)

If you can’t join online games or hear other players in games or chat, you might have a Network Address Translation (NAT) problem. If you have NAT problem, you’ll see a NAT warning icon or error when you test your Xbox LIVE connection.

I didn’t say that you could say what you wanted in underground on 360.

I said you could curse if you wanted, and I think it’s ridiculous that you can’t now. I’ve seen loads of people online saying they are moving to PlayStation because they are much less strict.

I would like to know what exactly my son said so he would know not to do it in future, but they can’t even tell me.
