    XBOX 360 Port Forwarding Not Working?

     Ok im trying to do the port forwarding for my XBOX Live in an attempt to change my NAT from Moderate to Open.  I cant seem to get things right or maybe im just missing something stupid but here is all the information i can give about my network.

    There its gone lol Im not worried about someone hacking it wouldent be the first time and it certainly wouldent harm anything on my network since we dont do banking, etc. on any of our computers

    I can't get the reply to work so hopefully this will...

    You should really take sensitive data out of your post ASAP. Not accusing any eggxpert, but people can use this information in the worst way. Take out MAC ADDRESSES AND IP ADDRESS!!! You sir, are incredibly trusting.

     [Edit]

    I am referring to the IP's starting below I think 128. They are your actual location, and people can even pinpoint to a certain degree where you are in the world. 192 numbers are ok, they are just your router assigning new IP's.

    The first thing is...holy c**p.  That's a lot of networking to sift through.

    What I would do first is try to find some way to get the 360 out from behind the Windows PC.  The 360 has to make 4 hops just to get outside your internal network.  But the other thing is, you have to port forward every device that is between the 360 and the Internet.

    But, if you want to make this setup work.... this is what you gotta do.  Find out of the Quest DSL modem is also a router.  If the DSL modem is a router, then you need to login to the DSL modem and forward the appropriate ports to the WAN IP address of the Linksys router.  Then you have to login to the Linksys router, and forward the same ports to the IP address of the 360 I believe.  Then, with the network bridged, you may have to open up the ports on the Windows Firewall.

    If the DSL modem is just a modem and not a router too, then you don't have to worry about that.  The fact the the DSL modem is assigning a NAT IP address to your Linksys router pretty much guarantees that the modem is a router too.

    Still though, I would get the 360 attached directly to the Linksys router, then you can just DMZ the 360.

    And get your public IP address and your MAC addresses off of your post.  People can really screw things up for you if they have that information.
