...what should i do? basically im wondering how i can make my NAT open so i can join my friends in some online halo 3 action. ive tried online guides but ive only got as far as getting a Static IP address. im a college student living in off-campus dorms and i plug my xbox directly into a port in the wall connecting to the dorms network. currently my NAT is "moderate" but it has read strict in the past. im living off-campus, and my friends who live on-campus have had better luck getting help from the staff there. i asked for help here and they sent up the network tech and he said he cant open ports because they would have to open ports for the entire network. for some reason i think he just doesnt know what hes doing. if someone could give me some clues as to what direction i should go with this that would be great. =)

yeah.. uhh xbox live uses the following ports

•UDP 88
•UDP 3074
•TCP 3074

so theres a good chance NONE of them are open..
your tech needs to reconfigure the router and open these ports..
sorry mate..
maybe consider getting another internet connection..?
or buy your tech guy something really nice lol
