uPNP on the only router between public and private will play friendly
with multiple XBoxes.

You can either port forward to them, Or enable UPnP and it will do it
for you. If your double NAT-ing then you will need to do it on both
routers as UPnP will only cover the one closest to the Xbox. And if
they have multiple xbox consoles you can only port forward to one, Or
give them multiple statics.
Just my experiences with it...

*Subject*: [WISPA] XBOX live, NAT, and UPnP
So does anyone here have any customers that use XBOX live and bark to
you about you NAT? Apparently the XBOX live service is very picky
about being behind any NAT device and its ability to make connections
to other servers. From what I gathered is that the LIVE service uses
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to get around this but the question I
have is. If your doing masquerade on a Mikrotik Core Router should you
enable UPnP on that device? Or should I just issue public IP's to the
customer that games and let them worry about it? And if you have UPnP
enabled on the core router and then do a double-NAT through the
customers Linksys router with UPnP enable does that not work because
of the double-NAT?
