xbox live problem

[MagiGetal]

I cant play with my friends on xbox 360 live but I can play with random people.
When I did a test connection my NAT says strict and does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

If there is a firewall device between the Xbox console and the network device, you may have to configure the firewall to enable communication on specific network ports. If the NAT status in the Network Status area of the Dashboard is "moderate" or "strict," you may have to configure port settings.

The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074


Ah, do you know how to port forward with your router? If not, give us the router brand and model and we'll help you out!

I kinda do have a firewall but I can disable it....my router is aa D-Link 2.4GHZ broadband wired.

Am a noob when it comes to router since I only use it for xbox 360 live.

What do you mean by kinda have a firewall? You talking about the router or something else?

Oh, that wouldn't affect the XBOX.

I'll figure out how hard your router is to portforward in the morning then post something.

Ooooh I can actually do it today! I tried on friday but my ISP decided to not let me reach any search engine at all...

First step, go to START -> RUN -> CMD and type in IPCONFIG (press enter).

Then get the IP of your default gateway. Most likely will be 192.168.0.1 or something similar.

Take that IP and put it in your browser's address bar. If you don't remember if you set a password, the default username and password are generally either:

(leave username blank) / admin
admin / admin

Once you get into the router, give me the actual model number, or check on the unit.

The first thing you need to do is set your XBOX to a static IP address.

There's a good guide here that actually covers the rest of it with a DLINK:

I follow the guide but I still get strict reguardless.

Hmm, I'll check into this when I get a chance and see what I come up with.

If you still havn't port forwarded those ports yet, portforward.com = win.

I'll try again but its late for me and I try it again when I wake up in the morning XD

[MagiGetal]

I try that but its giving me problems like it says "does not have enough space".

[Bluedreams]

Which says it doesn't have enough space?

When I try to add that thing from the portforward and I can only put one of them and cant add more because it says "no space" which is really werid because in the pictures u can add a bunch of them.
