Can I get 2 360s with open NAT at the same time with DG834GT?

[preetkk]

I have 2 xbox 360's but to be honest haven't plugged both in directly to router, but i am using a Netgear DG834N and i have one xbox plugged in directly to router and the ports forwarded and thats OPEN then my other xbox is plugged in through my pc (control what goes on in a game when i'm host) and my pc has DMZ set to it on my router which opens all ports for my 2nd xbox to be also OPEN.

But i will later try with both xbox directly connected to my router, and ports forwarded for both

Give one 360 a static IP address and on the routher set the same address as your DMZ. Make sure UPnP is on and leave the other 360 as automatic, this seems to work.
I have just checked both 360s and they are reporting open NAT now.

ive been struggling with this for the past few days, is your other 360 connected to xboxlive when you check the others network settings and visa versa when it shows open? i found doing as you said makes it worse, ive tried various firmware and found the latest netgear firmware gives a lower attenuation figure and if open dns servers are entered in to the router when it has netgear firmware then its flashed back to skys firmware the new dns settings remain.... all very intresting but both xboxs are still not open . i think as found on another site the answer is a new router but i would like one of the new higher speed wireless models from netgear which dont seem to be confirmed as capable of running 2 360s.

See here for info on which routers are compatible for two boxes.

So are you saying that we can or cannot do this with the sky supplied router?

I'm wondering if my sons new 360 has been having any effect on my connection, its hard to tell with the current live problems.

his 360 is connecting via a wireless access point so its not direct.
