that modem/router you have is a 4 port wireless so I a not sure why do you have your xbox 360 bridged via your laptop. get another ethernet cable to connect the 360 with the modem/router.

give the 360 a static IP of 192.168.1.100 assuming your modem's IP is 192.168.1.1

give 360 subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
360 gateway IP = 192.168.1.1

360 dns IP = 192.168.1.1

then log in to your modem and find NAT (port forwarding) option somewhere

choose TCP for protocol. for IP put 192.168.1.100 and for port put 3074

hit apply/save. reboot modem/router and try xbox NAT test again.

Do whatever you want to do man.

nah my ip of my routar is 192.168.1.254 does this make any differnce? also the reason i am bridging my connection is because i live under a flat and we only have 1 wireless routar and dont have a cable long enough to reach the routar

try the solution in the video first..if that does work then we'll try port forwarding.

buy this tbh. life will be easier, simpler and better.

are you getting moderate NAT now or still strict?

try this..

ps - ICS is gay..buy a wifi adapter or run a long ethernet cable to the router..
