Xbox live has strict nat when connected through laptop wirelessly. how do i open it?

I use internet connection sharing (check the box under properties) to connect my xbox 360 to my laptop (hp pavilion dv8100us). with a crossover ethernet cable ive opened the ports (linksys router) for both tcp and udp (3074,88,53) maybe i have to open others?


anyways, i have read online something about bridging the connections would make my nat open and i tried that but when i did that, even my laptop can't connect to the internet much less xbox live. ive tried to be as specific as possible so if anyone needs more info to help, id gladly post it. thanks a lot!!Xbox live has strict nat when connected through laptop wirelessly. how do i open it?
Don't bother with bridging, or with Internet connection sharing -- you're complicating things way too much. Instead, connect both the Xbox and the laptop directly to your router (either wired or wireless). This is simpler and also more flexible.





Once you do this, you will be able to set up your router to forward the correct ports to your Xbox.Xbox live has strict nat when connected through laptop wirelessly. how do i open it?
I have the same problem and I don't feel like drilling a whole in my wall or moving the system so what do I do?
