UPNP and my xbox 360

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hiya,

I’ve having some issues getting my xbox 360 and upnp to play nicely. It currently reports my NAT as being moderate. I’ve enabled upnp, set ether-1 as external, set ether-2 as internal and also tried setting ether-5 (my 360s port) to internal. Nothing seems to work, no rules get added under firewall => nat as I assume they should :frowning:

I’m pretty much running the default config on my new RB951G-2HnD running 5.23. I’ve changed the dhcp pool ip’s to 192.168.1.50-192.168.1.255 and the router IP to 192.168.1.1.

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip firewall filter print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 0   ;;; default configuration
     chain=input action=accept protocol=icmp 

 1   ;;; default configuration
     chain=input action=accept connection-state=established 

 2   ;;; default configuration
     chain=input action=accept connection-state=related 

 3 X ;;; default configuration
     chain=input action=drop in-interface=ether1-gateway 
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip firewall nat print

 0   ;;; default configuration
     chain=srcnat action=masquerade to-addresses=0.0.0.0 
     out-interface=ether1-gateway 
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip upnp print
                           enabled: yes
  allow-disable-external-interface: yes
                   show-dummy-rule: yes
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip upnp interfaces print 
Flags: X - disabled 
 #   INTERFACE                                      TYPE     FORCED-EXTERNAL-IP
 0   ether1-gateway                                 external
 1   ether2-master-local                            internal
 2   ether5-slave-local                             internal

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

One little question : is your WAN’s ip a valid ip??? ( AKA non BOGON IP ), if you are using a non valid IP on WAN, your provider made a NAT to you and here is the bad news, uPNP is NOT compatible with double nat…

Yup its a valid IP, not double nat. Its straight from my cable modem.

As I say, no dynamic nat rules are showing up so I don’t think its even getting that far. This isn’t a new network, I have a tplink next to it which the mikrotik replaced which was working flawlessly with upnp before this install.

do you have multiple IPs on the public/external Interface?

Nope, just the one IP on external. Its being used as a standard home router with a single IP provided via DHCP to the router by my ISP. I just wanted something more reliable/configurable than the junk consumer routers I’ve battled with in the past.
