XBOX 360 strict NAT problem

I have an XBOX 360 connected to my network. My firewall is a Watchguard Firebox III 700. I have ports 88 UDP, 3074 UDP, and 3074 TCP open to the IP address of my XBOX. My XBOX can connect to XBOX Live but it says I have a strict NAT. This is keeping me from playing multi-player games online. I want to know how to set up the Firebox to allow open NAT to the XBOX.

The Watchguard Firebox is also the router. It is the only device between my network and the cable modem. My ISP is Comcast.

I setup a SNAT to point to my xbox. I also added the xbox live DNS names to the proxy exceptions.
*.corexchange.com
*.rapidvps.net
Once I added these entries in I was able to connect to live with no issues.

Make sure you also open the ports on your router. IF you have all the appropriate ports open and still have strict NAT, it's more than likely your ISP and you should give them a call.

On my xbox 360 it says my nat type strict and wont let me join any gamescould you please help me to get my nat open?

This is generally an indication that your router is blocking some necessary ports. Access your router's configuration page, (look on your computer's network adapter for the gateway IP, and copy it into an internet browser,) then forward the appropriate ports to your XBox's IP.

Xbox nat setting

If you have a firewall or network hardware, such as a router, you might need to make a configuration change in order for your Xbox 360 console to communicate with Xbox LIVE. This configuration change is sometimes called “opening ports” or "port forwarding."

Xbox LIVE requires the following ports to be open: • TCP 80 • UDP 88 • UDP 3074 • TCP 3074 • UDP 53 • TCP 53
