4. Assign static ip addresses to each xbox e.g.

Xbox 1 Info: IP - 192.168.1.134
Subnet - Automatic (usually 255.255.255.0)
Gateway - 192.168.1.1 (or your routers ip)

Xbox 2 Info: IP - 192.168.1.88
Subnet - Automatic (usually 255.255.255.0)
Gateway - 192.168.1.1 (or your routers ip)

Once their assigned. Test connection to xbox live. If all is successful have fun online! Else proceed to step 5.

5. Log into your router configuration page. (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 varys from router models)

6. Portforward the necessary ports to each individual ip address. (see portforward.com for your router model and the ports needed to forward.
This wont work, static or dynamic just makes the device easier to find, I have even tried the IP address reservation by MAC address,

Turn DMZ, also tried this, and port forwarding & or port triggering can only port forward 53, 80, 88 & 3074 to one IP address, as does my inadequate UPNP feature on my router

The basis of this working is down to the UPNP feature working correctly which is what the guys on here say,
So providing you use a certified router with approved firmware it will work "out of the box" without the need for extra configuration; I have yet to purchase one or flash my Dlink 615, if it will let me.

Not saying your solution above wouldnt work for someone else but not for me,

Thanks for the post
