Strict Nat again

[cranium2001]

My nat is okay in game but showing strict in Network in xbox one. I rebooted everything and it was open but still couldn't join friends party chat. I restarted my xbox one and now it's strict again. Any ideas?

Do you have your Netduma in the DMZ of the main router.

[cranium2001]

Yes sir. I may have fixed it. I cleared the mac address in system settings and changed it on the netgear. It went from xxx.xx.x.6 to xxx.xx.x.7. Not sure if that was it but I got back into party chat. Still seems a bit off though but working now.

When you turn on your Xbox, look for a padlock on the map of the geo-filter.

[cranium2001]

What does that mean?

[cranium2001]

Because I recall seeing some outside my filter but not any friends.

Hi Cranium

 

If its fixed don't worry about it. But Legit is mentioning that sometimes our geo-filter can make the xbox falsely report that the NAT is not open. Remember to try disable it first and see if that makes a difference to your NAT status.

 

But since you couldn't join your friends before it was probably a true report.

If it happens again should I just disable? And if so then what should I do? Thanks for all the help guys. I can usually figure it out but this one got me. Too much pressure from five fiends waiting lol.

If it happens again it will probably be the MAC address you just mentioned but all the info you need is here mate http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=how_do_i_open_my_nat
