Hi all,

Not sure on whether this should be here or console gaming but here goes,

We have 2 xbox 360 consoles and have recently discovered that in order to play online without problems requires you to have an open NAT on both,

I have partly managed to achieve this by giving one console a static IP and using the port forward feature in my router to open ports
53, 80, 88 & 3074

This allows one console to permenantly have an open NAT, but not the other,
as you can only open the ports for one IP address

The router I use is a TP Link WR1043N

One suggestion was to get more than one IP address from Virgin, is this possible, I am on the 50MB service,

My Son & I would really appreciate any help and advice anyone can give,

Thanks
