Strict NAT Issue

Hi,

 

I was curious whether somebody could help me with my problem, i recently bought GTA IV installed/updated to latest Windows LIVE, but when i join Multiplayer lobby via phone it states in the bottom left corner "Your NAT is to strict, you may have problems connecting to other players & servers" or something.

 

Now i have NO firewall/Anti-Virus enabled client side, router firewall is set to "Allow all Traffic" and is disabled, i have UPnP Enabled on both, i've searched everywhere for the PORTS to forward for GTA IV pc, but the ones i have opened for it don't seem to work an the problem still persists sad.gif.

 

 

Thanks for your time, a reply or any advice is much apreciated.

 

 

 

Kyle

Is your router wireless? If so, you might have leeches grubbing your internet.

 

 

If it's wired, then unplug all ports except the ethernet to the xbox.

 

Hope I helped smile.gif

Unblock your firewall while playing IV, I've done this step and my NAT became open.

Are you using a router or a modem?

Yeah i'm on WLAN and have NO xbox, my cousin is the only other person on my WLAN network an bro is connected via LAN. I have WPA-PSK encryption on so nobody can get on as far as i know, according to the speedtouch Home Network tab we're the only ppl connected.
