Is what I am attempting to do impossible with this router, or is there some setup that I have messed up, or not tried? Of course when I did try this approach, the router would not allow me to setup the port forward to the second xbox, due to 'overlapping ranges' (no surprises there then). I didn't think it was possible to port forward the same ports to separate IP addresses, so hadn't tried this approach. The specialist team said that this was possible to set up with port forwarding to both xboxes, and for a mere $129.99 plus taxes, they would be happy to do this for me. I have called Rogers support desk, who put me through to a specialist team. Unfortunately I am not sure what port triggering is about, so this may not have been a valid approach. I have attempted to setup a 'port triggering' solution, with dynamically allocated ip's, but get stuck with 2 moderate nats once more. I am able to port forward to one of the xboxes, which puts that one in the 'open' state, but that doesn't do the second xbox any favours wrt xbox live connectivity. I assume that the Hitron implementation of Upnp is not top notch. When I repeated this setup with the Hitron, both Xboxes reported a NAT type of 'moderate'. With my previous Bell Aliant modem, I set the uPNP setting on, had both of the xboxes on dynamically allocated IP's, and both Xboxes reported that their NAT was 'open'. However, I am unable to set it up such that I can have 2 xbox 360s with 'open' NATs. Hi, I recently moved to Rogers, and am now the proud renter of a Hitron CGN3.
