Im using MyWi, Which I have my laptop connected to, and I then have the Xbox:D bridged through the laptop, well is there any way to get an Open NAT for the Xbox? I don't know if AT&Ts 3g network will force it to be strict or if its something i could change in windows 7. I don't think there is any such options on the iphone to create a DMZ or forward a few ports.

*EDIT***********************
I FIgured it out, nevermind thanks, I bridged my connection a different way through Windows and it is now open. Sweet! :)
 
Please help

Is there any way you can explain how you did this? I have mywi and a pc laptop and I'm trying to figure out how to open my NAT. You seem to be on top of it, so I was hoping for a basic explanation. Thanks mate- G
 
If you just want open NAT for your laptop you should be fine as long as you don't have your windows firewall set up strict.
Or are you looking to open your nat for your xbox?

Can you actually do online gaming using iphone tethering?
I didnt think the latency or speed would be sufficient.

Yep, its not the greatest but definently playable. It comes n goes though for me(and my house is a bad spot for reception, it bounces around tons). It will be playable but then like once every 8minutes itll just get so bad you can't move and/or play then after you wait maybe 5 seconds itll be back to playable.

Only time I would do this for real though is if you're in a situation where it would be nice to have a connection and you don't, otherwise doing it for fun gets old after an hr
 
I did this with my ps3 and miwi playing mw2. No lag had 2 bars on my phone and 3 bars on mw2 signal and after 4 hrs gameplay only used about 8mb dl and 15gm upload

True, on an emergency if you home internet goes down and you're stuck waiting to have them fix it or something.
 
weird, I was trying this out the other day and wasn't able to join any games on mw2 (xbox 360).
The nat type was set to strict, even if it could be opened wouldn't the ping be too bad anyway?
Wouldn't mind getting this working.

Yes the ping is high but I can still find a game, it just takes a bit.

I will post up how to get an open NAT later today hopefully. Ive got a crap of reading that i should be doing instead of looking at this forum bah
 
To Obtain an Open NAT (On Windows 7 - should be along the line for vista and xp)

1. Go to Your Network and Sharing Center
2. Click "Change Adapter Settings" on the Left.
3. Right click Your Wireless Connection
4. Click Properties
5. Click the Sharing Tab
6. Check "Allow other network users to connect through this Computers Internet Connection"

and you should be good to go. Open NAT
 
kewl gonna try this.
im running vista and instead of change adapter settings its manage network connections...
i will post my results
 
Nevermind...

IT WORKED!!! thanks dude!

Whats wrong? it was working for about 3days with open nat and everything and now i cant connect to live and if i do i have a closed nat. one time it said something about a MTU level...
