Hello,
My roommate and I are trying to connect our 360's to our internet thorugh 1 router. We are currently experiencing problems with one always having a NAT of moderate and are unable to have them both connected to live. I am wondering if anyone has done this or is currently doing this and can help us out?
Thanks

While I haven't set up a 360 before, I think your problem is that you cannot portforward the same ports to two different IPs, i.e. two consoles. It would be almost like 2 separate phones sharing one line both trying to dial out at the same time.
But first, you might want to test it with one 360 first and see if you can actually get it to run properly online. It may be that you, like myself, have a crappy router and it doesn't even work with one console. You might want to post this in the PC section as I'm sure there are more competent people that can address this question. I have a feeling you won't be able to do this without a second router.

are you just using DCHP and having the the router auto assign IP addresses within your network?
I suggest you actually assign a unique IP address to each of the systems so when you config it through the PORTs and even QoS you can specially assign which address allow with port, so it'll be able to tell the differences.
That's how i did it and it worked fine. =)
