NAT Type Importance

[visionz813]

Guys,

Everyone is probably aware, but for those of you who are not I have some advice. Each network has whats called a "NAT type". NAT types behind firewalls and other security enabled networks will be "strict", those with port forwarding or less features may be "open". If you have a strict NAT you may experience trouble connecting to opponents. To test your NAT type go to the network settings, run the multiplayer connection test....when the results appear pres lt+rt++lb+rb all together.

What happens when you hold the four shoulder buttons together? What can guys do if they have a "strict" NAT?

If you hold the buttons it pulls up the actual connection info not just the "no issues" message. The options to resolve the nat issue depend on the setup. The best way is to port forward ports on the router via the gateway control panel.
