{Guide} How To Obtain an Open Nat (Phone Tethering)

[Deleted User]

Hello Everyone,

Well after a year of searching and testing out methods and asking for help I finally put a guide to get an open nat when trying to get on xbox live with you samsung device.

Requirements:
1. A Windows PC (with a wireless adapter etc...) desktop or laptop.
2. The ability to use ICS on you computer
3. A phone that can tether.
4. A router.
5. 2 ethernet cables.
6. An Xbox

Step 1: Follow this guide:

1. Enable wifi tethering on your device

2. Connect PC to wireless signal

3. Open Network and Sharing center (start/control panel/ network and internet/network and sharing center)

4. Click change adapter settings

5. Right click on your shared internet connection ( in this case should be your WIFI connection), select properties, sharing tab, check: Allow other network users to control or disable the shared internet connection.

6. Stay on the sharing tab and click settings, uncheck everything under settings, now click add:

Step 2: Run an ethernet cable to your router. Once connected run an additional ethernet cable to your Xbox.

Step 3: Once everything is running you should be able to connect to XBOX LIVE with an open nat and be able to connect to virtually anyone in the world.
