I've searched high and low on the forums and all over the internet, and cannot seem to find a solution to the following problem.

Here's what I got: Xbox 360 --> Intel iMac running OS X 10.4.11 via Ethernet Cable --> Wireless Network Routed by a Netgear WGR614v6.

Xbox 360 Network Settings:
Manual IP Address: 10.0.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.0.1 (The ethernet IP of the iMac)
Manual Primary DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Manual Secondary DNS Server: 192.168.1.4

iMac Settings:
Sharing Airport with Built-in Ethernet Manually, IP 10.0.0.1, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

Airport IPv4: 192.168.1.4

Netgear WGR614v6 Router Settings:
UPnP enabled
Port Forwarding:
XBL1 UDP Port 88 forwarded to 192.168.1.4
XBL2 UDP Port 3074 forwarded to 192.168.1.4
XBL3 TCP Port 3074 forwarded to 192.168.1.4

Everything I have tried yields a strict NAT result. I have updated to the latest firmware. I have switched router and Xbox on and off numerous times. Moderate NAT will not work, I need an OPEN NAT to utilize xbox live to its fullest.

Yes, I know i can run a 100' ethernet cable directly from my Xbox upstairs to my router downstairs, but this problem is truly frustrating me and I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I have a macbook pro and an Xbox360, which find each other wirelessly over my home network. (360 is wired, mackbook pro is wireless). I found a program called Rivet, which fools the 360 into thinking it is connecting with a windows pc. All videos, pictures and music stream flawlessly.
