NAT Connection error

Eric had a problem playing a multiuser game with a “nat connection error” appearing on the game. NAT, or Network Address Translation, allows Internet traffic to be get through a router to the computer it is intended for.

The simplest solution for this is to turn the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on in the router settings. Another option is to enable port forwarding however to do the the latter, it requires knowing the technical features of the specific game.
