I was told by a lad before to turn on modern warfare 2 and change the nat type on that (I never had to change it manually, the game seemed to do it automatically for me), then eject the disc and insert the black ops disc and it should bet set to the nat type you want. I have done it numerous times and it has always worked but that doesn't mean it will work for you. And before you ask, I haven't a clue how it works.

P.S. you have to do it every time you want to play black ops

Do you have a copy of 'Modern Warfare 2'? If not then this won't work

Step 1 - Insert MW2 disc and proceed to multiplayer
Step 2 - Check nat type
Step 3 - If nat type is open skip to step 5
Step 4 - If nat type is moderate then return to the main menu and select multiplayer again
Step 5 - Eject MW2 disc without exiting the game and insert 'Black Ops' straight-away.
Step 6 - Start Black Ops and the nat type should now be open on black ops

Hope this helps

I did say it might not work for him but if it does then it saves him buying a new router. Its worth trying my way first is it not? And If my way doesn't work, he can still do it your way ;)
