Don't worry, I will get you fixed 

One thing about your Zyxel.
Look at problem #3

You will see a picture of the firewall page in the zyxel.

Make sure WAN to LAN is permitted on the firewall page

did and done, udp failed but tcp succeeded! closer. able to fix the udp?

[Shane]

Crap, if I remember right from helping another user with that zyxel is that UDP has problems with it.

Right now you have everything setup right. So unless the UDP rule is simply wrong I think you might be limited because of the Zyxel.

if u ever find any other information to fix the udp problem let me know  crappy embarq excuse now century link

This person had a different Zyxel, but for him the problem was his antivirus. Lets make sure yours isnt simply blocking UDP

IVe got Trend micro Antivirus with the firewall heres a pic kinda confused outgoing? ingoing and i cant put a specific ip address?................

[Shane]

Check the rule for my port tester, or simple port forwarding. Make sure the rule lets both TCP and UDP through.

udp still fails and i dont have any other firewall or protection software on......... so frustrated....

[biggieJ]

something wierd just worked dont know if it was supposed to.... i added 192.168.2.2 the on u said to add in the zyxel nat ports i added it to my firewall in my antivirus and port 88 udp opened up but all the other udps stayed closed?

[biggieJ]

now im stuck i got all the ports to open up on port checker for the computer but i switched to the xbox and im still nat strict?

[Shane]

Thats ok, Make sure the ports that are needed are open then try to do a game
If all else fails you could just DMZ the IP of the xbox in the belkin
