Stupid question but what does having a strict NAT do?

I have 2 xbox 360's in the house. 1 is connected via a wireless connection and the other is hard wired to the router. The wireless 1 has an open NAT while the hard wired has a strict NAT. This may have always been the case but because of yesterday I have only just noticed it. Rebooting the router just switched the NAT settings over from 1 xbox to the other. I am only able to get 1 with an open NAT but finally after hours of trying I can get both to play GOW online. So was my problem just a glitch due to yesterday's maintainence? So that brings me back to my original question, what does having a strict NAT do?

Good thing to come out of this is that after ringing xbox, sky and netgear to fix problem sky are sending me a new router.

I've got the same problem. One will be an open NAT and the other will be Moderate. Any ideas onn how to fix this?

Thanks

I cant seem to find a DMZ tab on my D-Link config page, what else could it be under?

My IP address isn't being found when I type it into my address bar, and the IP isn't one of the two that it should be..

I recently hooked my wireless router back up and now my NAT is coming up as strict and it was never strict before.. Help?

Much Appreciated.

Having a strict NAT makes it harder for you to connect with other players while on Xbox live. So it will be harder for you to find games, connect to games, and it can also prevent other players from hearing you or prevent you from hearing them.

when i type in my router's IP address into internet explorer the network connection times out. i have tried both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1 and the same thing happens for both. I really need an Open NAT so that i can matchmake in halo 3 without having to wait for about 5 minutes.

also, every port forwarding site i go to doesn't have my router listed on it. i have a linksys EZXS55W and NOWHERE has it listed.

please reply.
