Games

This category includes XBox LIVE.

XBox 360 requires gateways hosting XBox LIVE games to use the "Open NAT" method rather than the normal "Strict NAT" method. Therefore, if you want to host online games on an XBox 360 console, you must first configure your ZoneAlarm router to use the "Open NAT" method.
