need a bit of help checking my connections

[metshaz]

Hiya, i sometimes have my 360 connected via my dell using ICS and have an open NAT

but now i am testing my little netbook, and i can still get a connection to xbox live, but the NAT is reported as strict, so i was hoping to find someone, to have a quick burts of online play with both setups, and see what difference the strict NAT makes.

I know it makes a difference to who i can connect to, i was more wondering about the actual playability....

Or anybody else got any other suggestions to get around this.

Posted on AV forums too

As far as I know, all it affects is who you can connect to. Used to get NAT problems on the ol' black box, but that was also due to the legendary EA servers!

If you are playing against / with 1 other person who has an open connection then you'll probably notice no difference. The problem seems to manifest itself most when playing with a group of people; you either can't connect to the group or you can't hear / talk to some members of the group.
Don't know how to administer NAT settings with a Netbook, sorry.
