Alright fellow gamers.
I, like probably some of you, was stuck with a 'Strict' NAT setting and finding games could be difficult at times. Also www.infinityward.com/NAT.php didnt help at all. And perhaps your UPnP is already enabled on your router (Like me) and you still get that damned red Strict.
Well HAVE NO FEAR!
I figured out how to open the correct ports to change from Strict to Open
First you need a static IP address. Go http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm << there to set one up.
Once you have a static IP login to your router. Default is: 10.1.10.1
Once there go to your port page.
There should be a list of opened ports (or not)
Below these should be a button called 'Add New'
Click that and you should get something like this:
Put the following info into each box:
App: iw4mp1
Public/Private: 1500
IP: your static IP
then click add New and do it again just append the app name with the next number.
App: iw4mp2
P/P: 3005
IP: Same
App:iw4mp3
P/P: 3101
IP: same
App: iw4mp4
P/P: 28960
IP: same
Once youve filled all these out, your end result or port list should look like this:
(The blacked out part will be your IP)
Now just start up MW2 and if you did this correctly it'll say OPEN.
I am very please that i was able to OPEN my NAT, since i had a Strict connection before.
Also for those of you wondering. MW2 is not posted on www.portforward.com yet.
