Help opening my NAT

[leglez]

Ok I need help partially opening my NAT. I have a Linksys WRT54G. And I play on Xbox Live a lot. The other day I moved the xbox into my living room where our new tv is and then I hooked my G4 Powerbook up to the xbox and did internet sharing because I have no internet connection in there besides wireless. Whenever I use a wired connection on the xbox is says my NAT is open. But whenever I use my laptop it says my NAT is Moderate, and it makes it hard to get into any games. I don't want to chip out the money for a $100 microsoft adapter because I will rarely play xbox in their. So how do I go about opening up the NAT the rest of the way.

Thanks for the help!/

best bet would be to just get another router and configure it as a workgroup bridge. This would provide wireless for your 360.

There may be some kind of firewall on the mac causing you trouble.

You have to open the X-Box ports through both the Linksys and the PowerBook.

I have no idea how the Powerbook does the NAT and how you open any thing.

Otherwise, The $34 Zyxel Wireless Router can do Client Mode ( Wireless Configuration Modes - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Modes.html ).

I never worked with one, so I do not know what level of Encryption it does in Client Mode.

But it takes only $34 + ship to try.
