Hey khe, welcome to the board mate!!

 

As for your problems; I have been having trouble connecting to people over the last 3 days and have seen a few people on the server with the connection icon and as far as I knew my NAT was open (System blade > Network > Test Xbox Live) so I figured it was server issues, not so, somehow my router had changed the IP addresses assigned so I had to change the IP that I was port forwarding from and now it's all good again.

 

If you're running through a router have a check that the IP displayed in the Xbox Live test is the same as what you have for your port forwarding, annoying I know but hey networking is never easy.

 

Also check your upload speed: http://www.speedtest.net/

 

BTW your router control panel usually has a client list so you can see what IP is assigned to where.

How important is this NAT issue, I am obviously NAT'd through my router but I have never forwarded any ports to my XBox, I don't ever have connection problems either.

 

I get good speed as I have 8Mb BT Business Broadband.

 

Am I missing the point here somewhere or would UPnP be setting up the ports for me?

 

Any help/advice would be appreciated. :)
