Re: Halo 3 NAT not open

I can't seem to play Halo 3 on Xbox Live because a message pops up every
time telling me my NAT is not open and it may take some time to set up a
game. Then it just sits on searching for players forever.

I don't have any problems with any other games on Live so why is Halo 3
not working? Can anyone help?

Most games don't report on it if your NAT isn't open, I don't think, and it
doesn't always have an adverse or noticeable effect anyway. Have you run the
network test from the system blade of your dashboard to see if you really do
have a problem? I can't remember off the top of my head which ports need to
be open if you do have problems, but I'm sure a quick google will sort you
out.
