2 ps3, 1 360 and 4 andriods all needing open nat

[damien.ford]

Can I ask why the XBox is connecting to the wireless switch and not directly to the router as the PS3 is doing? It would be less complex for this to make a direct connection. I've sometimes found pushing things through multiple switches has an effect on the NAT and going directly to the router is better.

Have you also tried re-booting the router? Sometimes it gets a bit "stuck". I had this problem when setting up some new homeplugs. XBox started reporting a Moderate NAT. Rebooted the router and the problem went away.

Hi its conected there becouse of wireless strength and i also use that switch as wifi for my guests so when ppl come over i have a monitered conection for them to use so becouse of this when i have lan partys its easyer if were all on the same hub, it dont make much diffrance but its enuff to be moaned at about

That usually indicates that the username and/or password is wrong. Copy and paste the LAN MAC from the router settings into the box on the generator, then copy and paste the result to a doc then to your router. You can hardly go wrong with the wireless key as it is all capital letters, no numbers, but make sure you use caps..

HI yea Ive tried both gens gave me same user name and password, tried copy and past and manually typing them but still the same thing, im half tempted to give up on it and just suffer with what Ive got but earlier i was trying to watch a film on netflix whilst my farther-in-law was in his room trying to stream a film from my PC to his TV, something i forgot to add to me network diagram but it has urged me to try and find a sulation as that's a normal Monday afternoon so after a long convo with sky (again) they told me that in the 1st 10 days they scan my router every hour to make sure im connected, im pretty sure they cant do that ( i know it takes time to establish the line but i didn't know it involved that) but unsure they could just be feeding me a pack of lies. but from what i can tell i have all the right settings and would be willing to up load screen snaps if they would be helpful in helping me resolve this ishue, the router i have from talk talk is the d-link dsl2780 the latest one witch is so customisabul its unreal y cant sky just get a good company to make there routers and give the experanced users the chance to customise there network to me its bad bussines and just drives customers away i am tempted to just say stuff the offers and go crawling back to talk talk, not the best cs team but at least thay let u get on with it

they told me that in the 1st 10 days they scan my router every hour to make sure im connected

I suppose that is a rather simple way of saying that DLM training is run on your line for the first few days you are connected. If your line speed has not been set, it may be a good idea to give up until DLM completes. frequent disconnections can cause it to set your speed lower than it should.

Some screen captures might help, just be sure you obscure any personal information.

right there's a few there lots more that i could take shots of but i think that's about every thing that would effect connecting to the internet

The first images are a bit small to see properly, but from what I can see you should be able to connect. Look out for a PM from me.

hello again,
right I'm connected to the internet now with my tt dlink dsl-2780 ( there latest router)
i have the ipV6 up and running as well as an open NAT and custom firewall settings also as a nice little added bonus i have an extra 2.5mps on my line ( don't ask how it works but Ive double checked on both routers) it turn out that because the dsl-2780 is a ipV6 router that i needed to lower the MTU down to 1462.
surprisingly i found this out off a member of sky that had set up the same router at his home address ( someone in sky that doesn't just read whats in front of them) normally the MTU wouldn't really effect the connection to much, but being a ipV6 primary hub apparently it dose. so with my DNS set to auto and the new MTU setting after about 5 mins of doing nothing it finally connected through and has cleared my line.

i have had a lot of help from this forum and with out it i would be stuck still so i would like to thank you all once again for helping me with this issue and now hopefully i can experience a happy relationship with sky where nothing else goes wrong

many thanks again
