I've never played much Xbox Live, mostly due to the people, but also because I've always had trouble finding games. I never thought much of it until I tried to get one game online and it refused because I was in Strict NAT mode.

First things first, here's a quick sketch of the network. It's been hacked up over the years and generally neglected:

The WRT54G is the main gateway for everyone, including the Xbox and other living room items. The other linksys is set to be a dumb switch with everything disabled.

First off, I set the Xbox to a static IP and, in DD-WRT, set port forwarding for 88-UDP and 3074-TCP/UDP to that IP. That didn't help, so I also enabled uPnP, but amazingly that didn't help either. In fact, the uPnP table isn't showing any activity.

Any ideas of how I could fix this?
