I just ran the cable back across the floor directly connecting the xbox and

see no reason why it would make a difference to NAT whether it was a manual
or automatic IP... so maybe even though it says strict it does work properly

When I first got my wireless router, I thought I was clever when I
decided to go for a manual setup (Macs, Xbox, Voip etc.), but for some
reason it created all sorts of problems. The Xbox 360 had a "moderate"
nat setting, while the Voip worked and then didn't etc.

I then figured I'd try automatic assignment again, and suddenly my 360
got open nat and Voip became much less problematic.

At least that's how I remember it, and I think it's all true.
