Some of your have probably noticed that when your NAT is strict you can't join your friends with the same NAT. Well, there's two ways to fix it -- port forwarding and setting a DMZ. The latter is the easiest so I'll post how to do that first.

Firstly what you need to do, is go here:

http://www.portforward.com/english/a...e_360index.htm

And choose your router. On the page, look at the first couple of steps. It will tell you to enter an IP address into your browser (ie 192.168.1.1) and then enter the username and password. Do that until you get to your router settings. Stop following that guide afterwards, because it's for port forwarding and not DMZ'ing.

Once you're in the router settings you need to find the "DMZ" page. Have a look through the menus -- it's probably under "Security", "NAT", "Gaming and Applications" or something like that.

You will know you've found it when you simply see a box to enter in an IP, and sometimes a check box saying "Enable". When you find the box, enter 192.168.1.50 into it. That's it, just save if you can.

Easy eh? Not finished just yet though. Now you need to go to your Xbox so you can setup a static IP for it. Go to the last blade, the settings one, and choose Network Settings. From here choose Edit Settings and choose IP Address. Set it to manual and use these settings:

IP Address: 192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: Use the IP address that you typed into your browser to get your router settings up. Normally 192.168.1.1.

Now try to connect. Your NAT should be open. If it isn't, restart both your router and Xbox 360.

If your DNS fails then do this:

Go to Start > Run and type "cmd". Then type "ipconfig /all". Take a note of your DNS server(s) in there.

Then go to your Xbox, settings, network settings, edit settings, DNS Server, manual and use:

Primary DNS: whatever you took note of from ipconfig /all
Secondary DNS: not needed.

If your NAT is still strict or moderate, then you can now follow the guide on portforward.com. The problem with portforward.com is that they don't show (or tell) you to set up a static IP for your Xbox so it's pretty useless. But now that you've set one up, you can follow their port forwarding guide.

There ya go

It annoyed me. On the first level I got to a bit where there were loads of enemies outside and I just wanted to fight all of them, but I couldn't. Then on the second level I almost killed that massive fire demon thing but died and I couldn't be bothered to do it again.

The camera changes suck ass too.

That was the only thing that really caught my eye and bothered me about the game. I beat the demon after maybe four tries seeing as how I didn't know you could combo with the Devil Bringer and I've been waiting for this game since 3 so I can't wait until Monday... or Tuesday. Won't be getting it for the 360, though. =[

I thought RRoD was covered even if out of warranty? Maybe I missed that x_x

But I had mine sent in for RRoD, under warranty,, and they sent if back broken. I put it on the shelf for a few weeks and recently decided to call support, so I set it up. Strangely it works now, so I guess I can finally join here.

Gamertag - feignt
Games - I play CoD4 and thats about it, some guitar hero now and then. I have a few others but mainly just CoD4 whilst I save for other things.
Events - Sure, if I have the game I suppose I'm in.
