MC801a not able to port forward?

Hi,

I have an unlocked MC801a (previously Three) and I've tried opening up my ports for Xbox Live and it's not working. UPnP is not successful either even though it's turned on.

I'm currently on Lebara so not sure if this is causing the issue?

Thanks,

James
 
Lebara (and almost all networks with the exception of Three w/3internet APN) use CGNAT which means you do not have a publicly routable IP and so are unable to use port forwarding.

Thanks, I did read that but wanted to be sure as I couldn't find anything Lebara specific and Vodafone seemed to suggest on their routers you could port forward.

Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

Not sure if this is any help.
I use the BiglyBT torrent client run from behind a VPN. After using the torrent client to run a download/share, port forwarding kicks in after a few minutes allowing remote access through the single port. The only settings I needed were to tell BiglyBT what port to use, and to add a rule to my software firewall. The router settings are left at default values.
It works with both Three APNs.

Do you have a publicly routable IP address on your WAN?
