Re: What is NAT type
NAT is a protocol for networking. Network Address Translation was developed to keep from running out of IP addresses. When your Internet Service Provider gives you service they give you 1 IP address which would only allow one device to be hooked to they internet. NAT allows you to assign private IP addresses to each device in your home and then translates it back to the one address your ISP provided to you. Linksys routers typically have this set by default. Are you plugging your XBOX to your Linksys router or are you using wireless adapter?
There are three types of NAT (Network Address Translation):
1. Static
2. Dynamic
3. Overload or Port Address Translation (PAT)
You can learn more about different types of NAT by visiting:

You need to open all the ports for the xbox live. The NAT of that router model cannot be configured to open. Its just a simple NAT for internet connection.
since NAT has to be set on the Linksys... you will have to use the software provided by linksys, or use a web based interface which connects to the linksys and you can do the respective changes...!!!
