  1. Open nat or strict nat? Console says both!


    in the settings screen/app, you can go to network, then network settings. On this next page is some basic details like wired or wireless and nat type etc etc.

    It shows my nat type as open. However, if i do a multiplayer connection test, it says i have a strict (sometimes moderate) nat. Both pages cannot be correct so, before i go messing with my router and stuff, which page is lying to me and why is it doing so?

    :)

    NAT Type is Open on Xbox One, But Strict on 360

    My NAT type on my 360 has suddenly changed from open to strict. Nothing has changed with my network, I haven't gotten a new router or modem, and my Xbox One still says that my NAT type is open. I've tried some different things to fix it, but I don't understand
    why my NAT type went from open on both consoles for a long period of time to strict on the 360 for no apparent reason.

  3. Two Consoles Same Network, both have open NAT?? Am I missing something?

    The wired console can't connect to DHCP and has a strict NAT

    The wireless console is fine, open NAT.

    Please make sure that you and your friend both have open NAT's. This can happen if one console has a moderate or strict NAT.

    Did you try changing your NAT type? The helpdoc says:

    Open:

    With an OPEN NAT type, you’re able to chat with other people, as well as

    join and host multiplayer games with people who have any NAT type on

    their network

    Moderate:
    With a MODERATE NAT type, you’re able to chat and play multiplayer games

    with some people; however, you might not be able to hear or play with

    others, and normally you won’t be chosen as the host of a match.

    Strict:

    With a STRICT NAT type, you’re only able to chat and play multiplayer

    games with people who have an OPEN NAT type. You can’t be chosen as the

    host of a match.

    -- So I take that to mean if you have STRICT NAT, and if anyone in the group DOES NOT have an OPEN NAT type you are going to have problems.

    Are you both running STRICT NAT type?

    I can't connect to my friend's party

    I'm afraid to say it sometimes doesn't matter on having the same nat types if you are both strict or moderate nat types it can cause issues trying to join each other, I would suggest if you are on strict to moderate nat type then maybe one of you should
    become open nat and then you should have no problems connecting.

    Thanks
