Thanks for the guide. It seems to have worked great for me. I was having a lot of problems connecting to rooms for Forza 2. I had already done all of the DMZ stuff before, but my NAT settings would always read 'moderate' no matter what I did. The only time it would read 'open' was if I left DMZ off and left all of the network settings on the 360 to automatic. I went back through this guide step-by-step, and now my NAT settings read open, and I can seem to connect to anyone for Forza. It was weird since this was the only game I was having trouble with, but it works now! Thanks!

BTW, my router was a Linksys WRT54GS ver. 6.
