Hey I have a Windows SBS 2008 server at work and we are trying to hook an Xbox 360 to the network and connect it to Xbox live so people can play online games.<br />
<br />
When we do the Xbox will connect to Xbox Live but will not join games. We have a gold membership. When we did the test network settings it told us that the NAT needed to be open.<br />
<br />
How do I open the NAT in Windows SBS 2008?<br />
<br />
We tried giving the Xbox a reserved IP in the DHCP server and then putting that IP in the DMZ but that didn't work.<br />
