Unable to game on xbox one for multi-player

This is the error message: "Your network is good, but there may be matchmaking issues.
Your NAT type is 'Strict'. If you're currently having trouble connecting to other players on Xbox multiplayer/matchmaking, try testing your NAT type again. If that doesn't help, try alternate port selection. Otherwise, if you're not having issues, you may continue."

@mcury It didn't seem to work for me. So my setup is using LAN for main/personal stuff, then OPT1 is being used for games, etc. Does this change any of those instructions?
I can also post screenshots of each step as well.

@droidus Double checked and using OPT1 instead of LAN wouldn't change anything as far as I could observe..

Post your outbound NAT rules, I suspect you didn't put the static nat below your dynamic nat for the OPT1 network.

@droidus It's not correct.

You need to put static first, then the dynamic.

1 - WAN - XboxOne XboxOne_Port - WAN address static
2 - WAN - XboxOne XboxOne_Port - WAN address dynamic

You don't need rule number 3, you can delete that.

@mcury OK, it (the xbox one) is saying the NAT type is Open now; Is that right?

mcury · Dec 19, 2021, 4:02 PM

@droidus Yes, if it's saying NAT Open, its probably working now.

2 - WAN - XboxOne XboxOne_Port - WAN address dynamic

There is an error in my post, should be like this:

1 - WAN - XboxOne XboxOne_Port * * WAN address static
2 - WAN - XboxOne * * * WAN address dynamic

But I guess you already corrected because you are getting NAT Open, can you confirm if everything is working now ?

I suppose you don't need rule number 2, as you are using Hybrid Outbound NAT, which would already create automatically, an outbound dynamic NAT for your OPT1 network.

@mcury Disabling the second rule gives me this message upon testing multiplayer connect: "It's all good There are no problems with your connection for multiplayer. If you're still having trouble, try testing your NAT type again. "
NAT detection returns Open still.
Thanks!
