  1. Nat type won't let me do anything. What do I do?


    I'm on an Xbox 1 and recently I've been getting the X error when I try to join party chat and I'm unable to connect to GTA online. So I did some research and everyone is saying it's because of my NAT type being strict, but I keep getting something about
    not being able to get "Teredo IP address" I am wired though and I've never had a problem like this with my 360 or PS3. I called up microsoft for support and so the guy tells me to clear my MAC address and DNS stuff, gives me a couple numbers that I put in
    and somehow my NAT type changes to moderate, but then changed back to strict hours later. So today I called Verizon my internet provider to see if it was something with the router, and the tech gave me instructions to DMZ my Xbox 1, so now I can get into empty
    lobbies on GTA at least but still I can't play with anyone and party chats still not working. Party chat does work sometimes though, but rarely now and yes my mic is a week old so it can't be the mic. So what should I do? Is it something with my router or
    is it the xbox/Microsoft itself? I know about the ports that xbox needs open but shouldn't the DMZ take care of that? And also one of the ports 3074 I believe was already in use by Demonware?? No idea what that even is.

    :)

    Console won't let me do anything

    Does "issues with purchases" apply to a physical disc copy? Or what about trying to get into my settings?

    Purchased a pre-owned system from GameStop yesterday, got it home and got everything set-up fine. I also purchased COD: WW2 to play. Now, after installing (never fully finished, and won't) it will go to launch the game but will then say "something went
    wrong." It has even came back to say that the information is "corrupt, uninstall and re-install" a couple times. I figured that the power save options was on or something turning the system off after 4 hours of inactivity (was a ps4 option, not sure about
    xbox.) I tried to go into my settings afterward to try and set all that up to where it will continue to download updates and games after the system is off, but I cant even get into my settings. I can't send out messages without trying a few times, I can't
    get the installation process of WW2 off of "queued" now, and the only thing I CAN do that I know of is stream hulu. I got the game "For Honor" free with gold, and got it installed but it wont launch it either. Is my system shot, or do I have options? Almost
    forgot, I tried uninstalling to re-install and it wont go through with that process either.

    Nat type won't let me do anything. What do I do?

    Demonware is the upnp port mapping used by activision games on xbox one, ps3 and ps4.

    Games like COD and destiny use it. If port 3074 is being used by demonware then its likely you have been playing COD,Destiny or some other activision game on your ps3.

    As you have more than one console that requires port 3074 then you cannot use port forwarding or the DMZ. You must use UPnP only.

    You should delete any port forwarding and DMZ settings and make sure UPnP is switched on. After doing so restart the router.

    You should also switch the xbox to energy saving mode as instant on mode has a bug where the nat goes strict after switching the console on. It doesn't happen to everyone but its quite a common bug.

    I personally never use instant on because of this bug.

    If still getting problems post the make and model number of your router and then maybe someone with knowledge of that router can help.

    Hi there Cade,

    Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about the slow game download on your Xbox One. In reference to the System, there are a couple of troubleshooting steps we can try:

    If the Xbox One console continues with persistent issues, please try the next troubleshooting step :

    How to reset your console to factory defaults on Xbox One.


    • Reset and keep my games & apps. You should use this option as your primary choice when troubleshooting. It will reset the OS and delete all potentially corrupted data without deleting your games or apps.
      Note: Please make sure to know your emails and passwords for your Xbox profiles, this will log you off.
    Hope this works. Let us know.

    There is currently a service alert at xboxlive.com/status that some are experiencing issues with purchases. Hopefully this will be resolved soon and fix your issue.

    Not letting me do anything

    Hey there Kalyri,

    This is something you'll need to talk with Phone support about. You can contact a billing agent at 1-800-4MY-XBOX.

    Make sure to mention to them that you have the Entertainment for All plan.

    Let us know how things go.
