Xbox server connectivity blocked, but NAT type is open.
Xbox server connectivity blocked, but NAT type is open.
I want to play xbox games with my friend, we couldent as the game said "Cannot Connect To Host" and as such I found out that the Xbox console companion, in the networking tab, said NAT type Open, Server Connectivity Blocked. I have finally came to the conclusion that the router is for some reason not letting UPnP work. I was so fed up I was just going to forward the ports myself. Then looking up the ports that Xbox network uses, I noticed something strange. I saw the Teredo connection comming from my computers ip, and it was asking to open a seperate port than the port that xbox says that teredo uses. I cant remember the exact port number and for some reason the teredo UPnP client is now gone; but it was somewhere around the ballpark of 49533, while the xbox port is 3455. I am wondering If this is the genesis of my problems.

UPnP is on and the DMZ is set to me. Unfortunately I dont have any other windows computers to test this on here at my home. I think I will call xbox support and see if they can fix the issue over there, because as you say, its not a problem with the router. But I will then tell you the results as it may still be an issue with the router. If I am smart then I would take this computer over to a friends house and then see if the teredo works there or not, but thats not a gaurentee that the router is at stake.
I hope to speak again soon.
P.S. I dont see the teredo notification in the TP-Link UPnP menu anymore. I only see two NAT-PMP 6881 tcp messages using port 6881 from my ip adress.

I need to tell you that I managed to get the NAT type back open, I made this post on Xbox Forums and managed to get it back open. Now we can start worrying about the Server Connection being blocked. I have gone through the checklist on the windows report site again and that seems to not have worked.
I feel like we are once again on the right path to solving the issue.

Ok, that's good to hear.
By the way, I think you should skip the section "7. Uninstall recent Windows updates" of the troubleshooting guide.
My computers have all the latest Windows updates installed and they have no connection problems.

I have made a discovery, my antivirus has said that there was an inbound firewall rule for port 500 blocked, called by IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Module. I have since added the rule to the ESET firewall, which is dissimilar from the windows firewall, and the same rule is not there. There were also logs from multiple IP addresses blocked due to automatic blacklisting. The IP addresses blacklisted are currently: 31.7.60.114 ; 162.243.140.51 ; 185.164.72.21 ; 192.241.200.14 ; 194.165.16.78
I hope these insights help, goodnight and good luck.
