  Zyxel 660HW strict NAT xbox fix:

 

 

QUOTE from MICROSOFT:

If there is a firewall or a router between the Xbox console and the networking hardware, and if the Xbox LIVE test reports an NAT problem, you may have to make configuration changes to enable communication on the specific network ports that are required by Xbox LIVE. This reconfiguration is known as "port forwarding." If you use an Xbox LIVE-compatible device or a Windows Vista-compatible device that has the correct firmware installed, you should not have to make these changes.

For more information about how to determine whether your networking hardware is compatible with Xbox LIVE, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

944293  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944293/ ) How to find out if your networking hardware is compatible with the Xbox LIVE Service
If your device is not on the compatible list, and if you experience the symptoms that are described in the "Introduction" section, you can try to open the following ports:
  • TCP 80
  • UDP 88
  • UDP 3074
  • TCP 3074
  • UDP 53
  • TCP 53

You can only all these ports manually or open the DMZ of the router following these steps:

To setup DMZ on this router.

Step one assign a static IP in your xbox 360 to:

 IP= 192.168.2.199
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = 192.168.2.1

DNS 208.67.222.222
         208.67.220.220

Open a web browser  like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.2.1.

 

You should see a box prompting you for your password. Enter your password now. By default your password is 1234. Click the Login button to log in to your router.

If password does not work then you will have to reset modem.

Click ignore
Click ignore again
Click advanced setup
Click apply
 

Click the Network link near the left of the page.

You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click NAT.

Click the Port Forwarding button near the top of the page.



In the field DEFAULT SERVER type: 192.168.2.199  then click apply
 

Click the Security link near the left of the page.

You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Firewall.

 

Remove the checkmark from the Active Firewall checkbox.

When you're finished, click Apply near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!
