Balchers - the NAT applies to both wireless and wired - there is no distinction.
There may be additional trusted device controls for the wireless connection - but other than that, the rules apply to everything regardless of how it's connected.

The only thing that NAT does is assign a block of internal IP addresses so that you can connect multiple devices to your Internet connection. If you have DHCP enabled - NAT addresses are given out automatically.

The only thing you need to worry about is to ensure that appropriate ports for Xbox live are forwarded to your Xbox's NAT IP - if your gateway/router is 'Xbox Live approved' then this is probably done automatically as well.

I presume your NAT test is showing as 'open' on the Xbox 360?
