nat settings on a linksys wireless router

Greetings, I am trying to set the NAT on my router to "open" so that I
can use my Xbox 360 to it's fullest. Currently I am getting messages
from the Xbox saying that my NAT is set at "moderate ". How do I do
this? Do I have to set up a DMZ on the router and asign a static IP
address for the Xbox? If so is this easy to do? Any help with this
matter would be welcomed. Thanks in advance.

There is some advice here. There is one comment further down, that
one port needs to be forwarded. Which would suggest using DMZ would be
overkill.

I'm assuming this is for Xbox Live.
