Is my NAT really strict like the Xbox 360 test says?

My NAT per xbox says is strict but I can play and host games in Counter Strike GO and hear other gamers just fine. Other players are able to join my games in counter strike. Would anyone know if that was possible if NAT is really strict? I thought if NAT
was strict then you couldn't host. Does anyone know?

Also, have played multiplayer in battle field 3 and mass effect 3.

cannot join friends

Hi there! Are you just getting a really generic error like "can not join party?" If so, then it definitely sounds like a NAT error. Generally this can be caught by the connection test- but not always. Please have yourself and your friends go through

Can't connect to Xbox Live Parties

Hi,

-

The network test on the console should tell you if there are any problems, like NAT.

Please run the network test and tell us the result

Hey there superheropunk!

If you have a strict NAT, you can still play games online and chat with players online as long as the other user has open NAT. If you notice any issues come up with having a strict NAT, post back and let us know so we can help you get the issue sorted!
