If you enable UPnP you will get an OPEN result anyway.

Run a DMZ to that IP, gurantee it will be open then. Mine is.

It should be, make sure you don't have any port forwarding rules set up, and that all your xbox settings are on automatic.

i believe that using UPnP will work now, but at the time of writing the guide the UPnP on the V1 router caused me and many other people problems, hence the reason for the guide.

therefore i would agree attempting to use UPnP first, then if all else fails use the guide.

UPnP works in so far as giving an OPEN Nat result, however, port forwarding will be needed to obtain full connectivity on a very select few games.
The real acid test, as I've found over a few years (and a few different routers), is the game COD3. If you can connect to any game without seeing the dreaded "Could not connect to all players", then you have a perfect connection.
If you see this error though, you DO need to forward ports.

BTW, for people reading this thread. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get an OPEN nat on 2 Xbox's simulataneously.

Even if you have one Xbox in a DMZ?

Is it possible with a different router?
