Can’t Find Teredo IP address on Xbox Console? 4 Solutions You Must Try

Xbox allows multiple players to join a party chat to watch shows or enjoy a game together. Console users must choose the “Open” NAT type to avoid network issues when using this voice/video chat service. Many Xbox players noticed a “can’t find Teredo IP address” message when joining the party chat.

You might also encounter this NAT error when testing the multiplayer connection. Now, the question is, why does this Xbox console error occur? 

Most users received this error message after disabling the IPV6 protocol. There is a high chance that you have disabled the UPnP feature when changing the NAT type, leading to this connection error. Besides, incorrect router configuration can trigger this problem on the gaming console. 

Your Xbox One console’s cache data can prevent you from joining the party chat. Moreover, an incorrect DNS address can generate this problem in the device. Whatever the reason, you can fix this Xbox console issue without external help.

Let’s learn the easy methods to troubleshoot this NAT error:

1. Check & Enable Teredo Connection

Teredo addresses establish a secure connection between IPV4 and IPV6 protocol. Enabling Teredo connectivity is important before joining an Xbox party chat. Otherwise, you will receive the “can’t find teredo IP address” error.

Turning on your router’s Teredo connection is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is open a web browser and access the wireless router’s configuration page. However, you must know the networking device’s IP address and login credentials to open the setup page.

Here are the quick steps to enable your router’s Teredo connection:
