Time Capsule, Xbox and NAT settings.
Hello there..
I recently moved to a new a apartment and since then, am I having nothing but trouble. I've been struggling with the NAT setting on my iMac, because of bad connections and warnings on my Xbox. I want to change the settings from "strict" to "open", but I have no idea how?...
I use the newest Time Capsule and my iMac is from late 2009.
PS:In my last apartment I had one modem and a Time Capsule. The modem supplied the Internet from our TV cable (I think) and then my Time Capsule that took the internet and made it wireless. I don't know if it's any help, but we didn't have any problems back then.
Now we only have my Time Capsule, that's using a regular internet cable from a little tiny white box that's hanging on our kitchen wall.
Any help will be much appreciated, thanks!

- Open AirPort Utility.
- Select your device and click "Manual Setup".
- Click the "Internet" tab.
- Click the "NAT".
- Make sure that "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocl" is checked.
- Reboot the router.
If this doesn't work, you may have to simply assign a static IP to the XBox and then make it the default host or setup port forwarding for the port ranges you wish to use with your various devices.
