Port Forwarding Xbox 360

Darkred

I connect my Xbox 360 connected to my PC to use it online. Every time I connect I get a warning saying that I need to open up ports in order to use Xbox Live. What I’ve found online is that the TCP: 53, 80, 1863, 3074 UDP: 53, 88, 1863, 3074 ports need to opened. I was wondering how to open these with BitDefender 2011 Internet Security thanks.

Hello Kenny and Happy New Year !

Please follow the steps below in order to add a port to the BitDefender Firewall. I have used the port 80 as an example.

- open BitDefender Security Center

- switch to "Expert View" from the "Options" button

- go to "Firewall" tab

- go to "Programs" tab

- click on the "Add Rule" button

- in the new window select under "Basic" tab the following:

a) Apply rule to all programs

Program Parameters: Any

c) Protocol: Any

d) Events: Listen, Traffic, Connect

e) Network Type: Trusted (Allow All), Home/Office, Public

f) Permission: Allow

- go to the "Advanced" tab and set:

a) Direction: Both

IP Version: Any

c) Local address: IP -> Any

Port(s) -> 80

d) Remote Address: IP -> Any

e) Port(s) -> 80

Note that you need to uncheck the box next to each Port field to be able to add the port you wish to allow.

Please let me know if the issue still persist.

Regards,

Unfortunately whenever I sign into Halo Reach on Xbox Live I still get a message saying my NAT is moderate however I have not had any of the issues that it describes so maybe the problem is not with bitdefender? Is there anyway I can test if these ports are forwarded?
