How to change my nat to open?

How do I change the NAT type to open on my BT Home Hub Manager and still be able to connect to the internet?

  • My NAT type is strict and I have gone to great lengths in trying to alter it. Yesterday, I managed to get into my BT Home Hub Manager, and find a firewall system in which my NAT type is open. However, upon selecting this option, I could not connect to the internet or access xbox live. I therefore had to switch to my standard setting in which the NAT type is strict. I can however create a custom firewall setting, but as I have a limited knowledge of computer software, I don't know how to have NAT open but still be a able to access the internet and xbox live without turning off my firewall, which would be extremely counter productive. I have the newest BT Home Hub Firmware and I use my Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo laptop to connect to xbox live via ethernet cable from my xbox 360's ethernet port to my laptop's ethernet port.
