      Hello,

      I was hoping someone could let me know how I can open all the ports on a IP.

      My Xbox is using 192.168.1.105 and I'd like to open all the ports on that.

      Not sure if putting it in a DMZ would be the same thing ?

      Thank you.

        create a 1:1 and firewall rule that allows all ports..  For why would you think you need all the ports?  The games do not use ALL the ports..  Forward the ports your games require = done..  If you do not know what those are turn on UPnP and what what ports it uses, etc..

          Thanks johnpoz,

          I have already forwarded the ports for an open NAT on my Xbox but I find I still have some connectivity issues with some people.

          I figured it was worth a shot to try and open them all.

            If game listens on port X - opening up port Y that nothing is listening on is completely pointless.
