I would love some help, although i have no idea what ANY of this stuff means haha
Did you restart your router? That's happened before, when it wouldn't change. After restarting and power cycling it eventually changed.

If your NAT is open and you still can't join someone's party, I can only guess that that is Halo 3 being annoying. You should be able to join everyone if it's open.

Or just download the latest Xbox 360 approved Router Firmware, and reboot everything.

Boom ..done

For some reason, I doubt every router manufacturer would make a firmware just for the Xbox.

They don't, but usually most routers realize that people will be connecting Video game Consoles to them, so pretty much every firmware coming out now has the NAT preset to be open.

I tried what you've said and the damn thing still says Strict. Whats the other way?

Edit: Restarted everything and went down to moderate. Why isn't it Open?

Yeah. Same here. I've followed step by step but it still says "strict"
Anyway, I use "Netgear WGR614 v5"
