The RWP

kfred · #1 20th May 2011, 07:51 PM

Ok, so I'm having to use an older router at the moment because our new one broke. It's a Belkin N Wireless Router. The model number is F5D8236-4 v2 if that helps. It keeps giving me the stupid "strict NAT setting" message. I've tried port forwarding, I've tried using a DMZ, and basically everything else I could find on various forums and help websites. If anyone knows anything about networking(*ahem* Grey Jinjo), please help me because I'm getting super frustrated at the moment.

Also I just loaded all the factory settings, because I was afraid I made it even worse.

There is a small chance (and I mean really small chance) that your modem is also a router. It happened to me. Just something to look into, idk.

It's giving you a strict NAT on the DMZ? It's ****ed.

Reset the router and then on Xbox test connection.

We have a fiber-optic internet service, so we don't have a modem. At least not an external one.

I have the exact same problem. My dad's thinking about installing our old router under a new name, but that's just me.

Bizzump. I've been trying for days and I can't seem to find a solution.
