nope,


Strict NAT.

Some Netgear routers have some issues it seems.

I will bring up my router settings later today, maybe a Guru can take a look?

All the right ports are opened to the correct host? Your Xbox have a Static IP address? That should work...
looks like my Xbox does not have a static IP.

Not sure what to do now?

I don't use Static IPs. Set a DHCP reservation on the router with the MAC address of the xbox. I've always had intermittant issues with the 360 being set to static, so I keep it dhcp w/ reservation.

Not really a guru, but I think that what I had to do with my Netgear to get it working correctly. Does your NetGear Router have UPnP? If so, is it enabled? If it is, disable it.

Never had problems with a static IP here. George, if you have the port forwarding setup -- and your Xbox grabs a different IP (because of DHCP) than you've forwarded the ports for -- there's your problem.

Simple terms please?

Can't find any screenshots with the NXE. Just give it an address > .10 or so. I think I gave mine .50 (192.168.x.50) Then forward the same address in the router.

Old way looked like this, should be similar: http://portforward.com/networking/staticip-xbox360.htm
