I have run through that, but it didn't mention the NAT at all. I remember
it used to cover it, but this time it didn't; or am I missing an
option/menu somewhere?

Thanks for all the help anyway!

Well if it's the one I'm thinking of, first of all it checks the
connection from the 360 to the router, then from the router to the
internet. If it finds a problem it'll show up there with a possible
explanation, eg. "You have a Strict NAT".

If it reports nothing then it doesn't find a problem. Possibly you have
an intermittent signal for some other reason (?)
What exactly are your symptoms?

It is annoyingly inconsistent; it was fine last night.

The problem in Forza was that when trying to go into a race from the lobby
it would take ages to load, or it would kick me back into the lobby and
start the race for the rest. I also noticed that when I did start a race
after a long wait it appeared that someone else had been left out.

Add that to the problems that Ste and I have connecting in LP2 and I think
I have an issue playing in the same game with some, but not all, other
XBLers.

When I get a chance I'll try the port opening.

Yes do the port opening, but if it's not reporting strict or moderate
NAT in the Network Test on the 360 (or in other games like Halo Reach)
then the issue is with a more inconsistent connection. ?

Which reminds me - I really need to have a look at my network settings
tonight before tomorrow's borderlands session. Last time I attempted to
join in (MtG) it didn't end well..
