2 things: It's too long and it's too confusing. That's just my opinion. Whoever feels the need to connect easier, go ahead with this good post.

this is risky good find though but i dont need it i get host A LOT my connection is really good i have comcast

Nice Tut., you put some time into it from the looks of it.


From experience theres more ports than what youve depicted. There if I remember correctly 6 ports that need forwarding. Whether it is for firewall enabled purposes or another. I had my firewall enabled on my router and had to go through the port forwarding process, I found three primary ports for XBL through some searches on the internet. But I still had some connectivity problems. So I called XBOX support and the gent told me a few more ports to open / forward, a couple were UDP to my surprise.

I go with Dynamic ip for simplicity. I have a good ISP and I power cycle my modem and router once a week. But even with the amazing connection I have, I still get lag and have problems whith other players connectivity when im host.

This is basically opening your NAP.
This will make it so you can connect to just about anyone in most cases (depending on your connection strength)

There is no risk and it doesn't actually give you a better connection it just makes it so you can connect to people easier..

NAT

This is not risky at all.. people have been doing this for ages on XBox live. It's basically opening your NAT. It's not risky you could always set everything back to default as it was.

is there anyway to do this on a mac? if there is and if you can find one, will please post it. +rep
