How to change my nat to open?

How do I change my NAT Type from "moderate" to "open"?

• On my Xbox, it says that my NAT type has changed from open to moderate. Only recently has the NAT type changed. I have Verizon Fios (which uses a Actiontec MI424WR router). I have already enabled the DMZ and UPnP, reset the router, but it is still moderate. How do I change it to open?

• Answer:

  open, closed, and moderate are MS ONLY terms. What you need to do is port forwarding. I use portforward.com to do stuff like this. Here is xbox live for that router http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Actiontec/MI-424-WR/Xbox_Live_360.htm There are three versions of that router in the list. Oh, and the DMZ is rather dangerous. It lets any idiot have access to what ever you put in the DMZ
