XBOX 360 Router Problems?!

Hi guys,
I picked up Forza 3 today and am having some trouble connecting online. My NAT type is STRICT and I'm using an old ****BT Home Hub. I've tried port forwarding ports such as 80, 88, 53 etc etc according to tutorials but to no avail. The xbox appears on the router's settings, so I've tried forwarding to it by name, and also by IP (by setting the 360's IP to static and copying it across to the route settings). I have no idea why it still doesn't work and it's driving me crazy! :evil:Any help would be much appreicated. Does the NAT settings depend implicitly on the router? If so I'm seriously considering getting another device, could someone recommend me a good router with OPEN NAT settings?

Thanks all,

The ports that need to be open are 53, 88, 3074. Try that.
If that doesn't work try this link below. It helped me out a lot when it came to opening ports.http://www.portforward.com/XBOX 360 Router Problems?!
Yeah they're all open on both UDP and TCP :(. yeah that's the tutorial I was using too, no luck as of yet though :(.

Thanks,

Okay, when all else fails just open the DMZ in your router specifically to the xbox's IP address. Usually routers just let you do it to one IP address but it's good to be on the safe side.
Eugh my 360 doesn't appear in the drop down list of devices in the DMZ menu... It appears everywhere else but not here :/. The only option I have is to assign the DMZ service ''Internet'' to my laptop, but not to my xbox. :(

Cheers,
