I keep getting this.

“The public port number can not be 88.Because it will have a collision with the Wireless Router web service.”

What’s going wrong >:

Great step-by-step. I have a belkin router and the instructions worked like a charm! Thanks for the advice, and the screen shots. My Xbox Live account popped right up at full speed. Nice work!

Thank you so much for your help. My son has been wanting me to change his NAT settings for the longest and I finally found your site. Thanks a million. This was a perfect gift for me to open his NAT settings so he is able to enjoy his XBOX live even more! Today is his 14th birthday!!!
Thanks again!

Great advice. Mine is and has been set that way, even with DMZ and it DOES NOT WORK.

PEOPLE I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION TO THE PORT 88 PROBLEM!!!

^^^Ok, just trying to get your attention there^^^

Not sure if anyone has posted this, but here goes:

Basically, try putting in, instead of 88, 8080. I called Belkin and they told me to, and it works. I told a few of my mates and it worked for them also, but I’m not guaranteeing anything! Just try it, it probably will work.

Hi, my question refers to the two pictures in this article that show the actual screenshot from the xbox dashboard. How do you get to that screen? i have been trying and i cannot find it. any suggestions? and oh - im still not sure how you actually change your NAT to open.

Thanks

Hey, I have a Belkin f5d8233 4v3 01. And, I can’t seem to get the NAT off of scrict. I’ve just taken it out of the DMZ but it still doesn’t work. It’ll always say that the TMU (or something of the sort) doesn’t have enough something to connect…

Please, I really need help with this.

Yeah!! It worked for me!!

I did manage to totally lose my internet connection at one point but with your suggestion to unplug everything and turn it back on again my Xbox live wireless is up and running smoothly now! Your instructions were much more helpful than any I could find on the Xbox live site!!
Thank you so much.
