UpNp or nat issue

Hello! So about a week ago I started up an Ark Server in which you use a separate console to do. It set up well and me and others were able to join. Now as of 2 days ago I am the only one who can not join. So I know it’s not an issue with ark. Not to mention
any game will just have a massive lag spike every 15 mins or so. Whether I’m playing with others or I’m playinf a single player game. I’m not sure what the issue is. My NAT type on both console are open. My UpNp is successful. Both consoles are wired up.
Any help?

:)

 

Port forwarding question

I have discovered why my X1 reports a Strict or Moderate NAT sometimes and it's after one of the 360s uses one of the ports the X1 needs. As soon as a Live port is used for a 360 via UPnP, 3074 for example, the X1 drops to Strict.

This is exactly the reason why I use UPnP, because if 360 1 is using 3074, UPnP will map 360 2 to a different port number that grants the same access as 3074 allowing both to communicate with the Live service at the same time, thus granting an Open NAT to all connected 360s. The X1 is not triggering port forwarding via UPnP to utilise this feature, so is the device that suffers when a 360 is in use.

The PS3 used to have a UPnP enable/disable option on the console itself, which I thought was odd, but perhaps if the 360 had this, enabling it would tell the console to use UPnP, which once it uses UPnP to trigger the ports I'm sure it will resolve the multiple device issue.

For reference:

• When I have an Open NAT, the X1's Detailed NAT Information says: Your network is behind a cone NAT
• When I have a Moderate NAT, the X1's Detailed NAT Information says: Your network is behind a port-restricted NAT
• When I have a Strict NAT, the X1's Detailed NAT Information says: Your network is behind a port-preserving port-symmetric NAT

 

Port forwarding question

Because of the lack of UPnP support, I discovered my X1 Open NAT kept going to Strict when a 360 upstairs was turned on. Even though they are not a Live user the console was calling out to Live to update tiles, etc., so it was appearing in UPnP using an original Live port that it wouldn't give up until I cleared the UPnP ports table. I have now disconnected that 360 from the network, so now it's just mine that creates the issue.

So much for being able to use your Live account on an X1 and 360 at the same time.

Loads of threads on the official support forums about NAT issues, spanning all sorts of devices and firmware.

I think Microsoft really have released the X1 in a not quite ready state.
