Maybe we can take a look again. It should be open. Is this happening on all games?

I restored my dlink with the save file that we made furry , so I believe I'm already running with this rule...but alas with the same results for me...moderate nat on at least one box.  Not sure where to go from here....Anyway..thanks for all your help furry.

What region are you located?
Are you wired or wireless connected to the router?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
Black Ops 2 is still showing that I have a Moderate NAT, even with the Multi-Pt2 settings.  My connection was much better last night though, so I'm not really all that fussed by it. 

Moderate NAT with a solid connection is much better than an Open NAT and laggy connection.  It's not always about the NAT, I suppose.

Located near Toronto with Teksavvy Cable Internet.

Two consoles.  One says Open Nat, the other Moderate.  I tested this from the Xbox networks settings, and the second console is reporting Moderate NAT.  So it is not just for Black Ops.

<<Edit - scrap that.  They are both showing Moderate now.>>

I going to go back to square one.  Something must have reset/reverted itself somewhere along the way.  Once I have a chance to do so, I will report back.

For future reference while I have it already typed...

I have a Motorola SB6120 Cable Modem in Bridge Mode.  I have a DLink DGL-4500 Router.  There are many wireless connections (3 computers, 3 blackberries, an iPhone and iPad, Blu-Ray Player, Printer...) to the router, including the 2 Xbox consoles which connect wirelessly with static IP Addresses assigned. 

I know I solved this at some point in time.  I am having trouble recalling if it was before or after my move to Cable internet.  I'm not sure how I could solve it for DSL and not figure it out for Cable though.  Seems odd.

I have solved the problem for now.

I recall at some point in the past I was having some DNS issues.  I had gone to the extent of setting the IP Address and DNS Settings on the consoles themselves to match the settings on the router and the DNS settings of my ISP.

I have set the consoles to Automatic for IP Address, and set the router (Setup/Network Settings menu) to Enable DNS Relay.  The effect of this is that the consoles are automatically taking the same IP and DNS settings that they had been taking before.  I'm not sure if or why that was the difference.

The only other change I made is to make my network G and N only.  I had a couple of 802.11 B devices (don't laugh by old Nintendo DS handhelds from when my kids were younger) at one point that I was continuing to provide for.

Anyhow.  Sometimes you have to go back to square one, and go through the "Sticky Note" step by step.

Thanks for keeping information like this on the forum and accessible to all.

Good to hear. glad you go it fixed.
Another thing you can test out is to input the DNS addresses or even try finding better DNS using Name Bench and input these new addresses into Setup/Internet/Manual then you can turn OFF DNS relay. This will get these new values out to the network. Try this later on if you like.

Hope it works well for ya, enjoy.

Hey Shawz!
DO you have your Xbox's IP addresses reserved in the router settings?
