Miose Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Strict nat type is on your end, not the systems. It's based off of your internet and usually comes around when you have a whole bunch of devices connected to one router or some carriers only allow strict nat types. Look up a tutorial on how to adjust your settings accordingly or try disconnecting unused devices. It goes like this Open nat Moderate nat Strict nat Open NATs can connect to any of the three types. --> Probably the least common type Moderate can only connect to open and moderate. --> Probably the most common type Strict can ONLY connect to open. ^ This is where your connecting to other players problem comes in.

Churpy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 If you know how to access your router settings, a lot of routers also allow you to disable NAT completely. If you would like me to help you try this, drop me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good idea Incorrect. NAT has very little benefit on the security of your connection. Most, if not all routers feature a comprehensive firewall, and accompanied with an updated OS (W7/W8, etc) toggling NAT should never be an issue. It's highly obsolete and not recommended at all for hosting/playing online games. Edit: Referring to the NAT-toggle option that most routers have, which still leaves firewall up, and I do believe a basic NAT.

Alright, well I can try help in here if you want to tell me the make and (if possible) model of your router. You have to log into your router and disable NAT. It varies greatly for different routers.

Churpy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Type/paste "192.168.1.254" into your browser without the quotation marks. This should connect you to your router..it will ask for a username and password, which you should check the bottom of your router for. If you can't find anything there, guessing is always fun (don't be discouraged, I do it all the time successfully). I ran a quick internet search and you should try:Username: adminPassword: Username: adminPassword: adminUsername: admin Password: password And yes, the first password is blank. Let me know if it lets you in or if you have any issues. Edited July 9, 2013 by Churpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churpy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Surf around and see if you can find a NAT setting, I guess. NAT stands for "Network Address Translation", so keep an eye out for that too. Click around all of the areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Churpy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Dug around a little for you and found out there is no NAT option unfortunately, although I did find this for you which may work: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulzscha Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Note that even after configure your ports properly and you still get this error, the only remaining reason could very well be your ISP blocking port forwarding (as is in my case). You can try to contact them to get it sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churpy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I think he is having NAT issues, but if what I instructed doesn't work we will try port forward I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobolyra Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thing I hate, is 90% of the time I don't have this NAT issue, then randomly one day I will. Next day I won't and it will be fine again. (No one else lives here, no other access to router), So I think the game itself also has issues reopening/closing ports after use when connecting. Damn coding bugs.

You can try to contact them to get it sorted out. ^This Last ditch would be to DMZ it to test. If it works, you just need to look for the settings. If it doesn't, check you ISP as Tul said.
