Network Config For The XBox 360

This article right here details very precise instructions on how to configure your router and XBox 360 to acheive the most optimal connection with XBox Live. I get dropped from time to time and am hoping this helps.

**UPDATE**
I followed this step by step guide and found that my connection is much smoother and my NAT is completely open with firewall still up. It's probably a good idea to go through these steps just to manually assign the IP to your 360 so that it port forwards correctly to your router/firewall. Good guide! Thumbs up!
