I'll start off by saying I don't have an Xbox. I know nothing about them. I=
'm also not a network admin or engineer, though I do know a little about th=
at side of things.
So we've got students with Xboxes here on campus (go figure, right?). Many =
of them are friends and like to play games against each other. They all suf=
fer from the "Strict NAT Type" issue that Xbox Live warns them about. As su=
ch, they are unable to play games against one another across VLANs.
Do any of you have any suggestions for how we could make it easier for our =
students to play games against each other? It's a common complaint here. Id=
eally, it would require little to no work on the networking side.
Thanks,
Jim
