Want to know the best time to jump online and get into some multiplayer with your friends?
This is a great utility for keeping track of when your Xbox Live Friends are online without keeping your Xbox 360 turned on.
There are both Mac and PC versions of this utility, yet they produced by different teams.
First, set a static IP address on your Xbox 360.
Then add the following 3 rules to your router, under the port forwarding options, pointing to the IP address of your Xbox 360:
Port: 88, Protocol: both (tcp/udp)
Port: 2074, Protocol: both (tcp/udp)
Port: 3074, Protocol: both (tcp/udp)
Save those changes, then run the network tests on the Xbox. You should get an “Open” status under that last test, NAT.
Doing this should clear up and “Open Nat” error messages that come up during Halo 3 matchmaking and when joining your friends parties.
