Problem with two Xbox 360's being online at same time with WRT54GS router

Hey guys, I have a bit of an annoying problem. I have multiple 360 consoles which are occasionally online at the same time. When one is on, it either causes connection problems with the other or blocks the other from signing on all together. Both are using the official wireless adapters and are hooked up to my WRT54GS. Usually when one of them fails at the connection test, it's a DNS failure, but it has occasionally been an IP failure.
I've already tried:
-setting them both up with static IPs. This caused NAT issues and didn't really fix the problem with one of the consoles kicking the other off.
-forwarding ports to one while leaving the other alone, setting one up in a DMZ while leaving the other alone, and setting one up in a DMZ and forwarding the ports to the other. All three trials showed no improvement, and caused NAT problems.
Also yes, I do have UPnP enabled.
*sigh*
This problem has been driving me up the wall for months now. No one I've talked to has been able to figure it out. If anyone can offer me a solution I will forever be in your debt.

You can set a Static Ip on Both the XBOX and then login to your router and do Port Triggering, this may solve your problem.

How to read two counters and writing AO at the same time with 6024?

I use Labview to read two quadrature encoder outputs and I use the two
counters
of 6024E for this. I can read the encoders continuously. I also want to
send an
analog output with a period of 30 miliseconds
while the reading of encoders is continuouing at the background. How can I
do
this. I searched the NI discussion forums and found that my device have
only 1 DMA channel. Is it possible to overcome the problem using
interrupt??(set device information.vi) Is there any example code about this
problem?
Thanks a lot.."

WRT160N V2 - Connecting TWO Xbox 360's with OPEN NAT...a nightmare. :(

Need to run two Xbox 360's on a WRT160N V2 both with open NAT.
This must be possible...somehow.
I've tried a few times through the linksys support chat (which seems to be gone now?) to get this working properly but always fails. I've got my http://192.168.1.1/ open, so please if anyone knows how this works that'd be just awesome.
Both 360's are connected via wire. We want to be able to play the same games at the same time in the same party while both having an open NAT. Right now only one of us can have an open NAT while the other has a Moderate or Strict. We have plenty of speed, but that stupid NAT makes it nearly impossible for us to connect to games together. Then even when we DO connect to a server/lobby it takes forever for that lobby to fill up with other players as they can't connect to US. Painfully annoying.
I DID do a search of this very forum and found a thread or two, but they are very long and I am having a hard time filtering what is correct or not. Too many people saying different things with no reponses as to whether or not their solution worked. I'm still reading through them, I'm not a technician in any sense and don't want to mess it up more than it already seems to be. I am capable of reading/following instructions, so if anyone knows I'll give you all my "One Free Internet" coupons.

You can try this link and it will help you in setting up your XBOX with your Router. And for your 2nd XBOX Enable DMZ and assign a Static IP to your XBOX.

WRT160N V3 Two Xbox 360 consoles Xbox live NAT Resolution

Has anyone found a solution to the NAT problems involving two xbox 360s connecting to xbox live using the WRT160N V3 at the same time? I always get one that reads Open NAT (usually the 1st one to sign in) and one that gets the dreaded Strict NAT type. I have read of various solutions yet many of them do not resolve the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

You can try the below mentioned settings and check.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
IP Address: 192.168.X.[last part of ip in your device] e.g. if static ip given to the device was 192.168.X.10 get the last part and put that to the empty box.

WRT54GS Wont support Two XBOX 360s online at the same time

Just bought new Linksys WRT54GS to support two XBOX 360s live simultaneously. Can't log both on at same time. It kicks first 360 off when second one tries to log on. How can I fix this and have both NAT types open?

I'm having the same issue. I have comcast as ISP, Linksys modem BEFCMU10 V3, going to a Linksys router WRT54GS V4, two desk tops hardwired to the router, TiVo with a wireless and two Xbox 360s with Xbox wireless adaptors. Each Xbox 360 has a different Live account, one has mine the other has my daughters. Either by itself goes live just fine but as soon as the second unit is brought on the first kicked off. If left on they will take turns dropping off from Xbox Live. One night we alternately texted/chatted from both of our Xboxs to the same third party. When he had signed off for the night and showed be "offline" on my unit my daughters unit still showed him "online" until we shut her Xbox off. In addition the NAT always seems to change. Some times its open, others it's medium or strict. This seems to be related to having one or both Xboxs on. I found an article on segmenting your network by using two wireless routers and running the Xboxes through the router closest to the modem and everything else through the second down line router. I haven't tried it yet. Anything I'm missing? Something else I should try? I've talked to the Geeks and some tell you can't so it and others tell me sure it will but they want $$. I've talked to other gamers that tell they've had two Xboxs on Live with no problem.

Two Xbox 360s Connected to Cisco DPC3825 DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway

I have two Xbox 360 systems connected to a simple ethernet hub. That hub is connected directly to my Cisco DPC3825 Gateway. When using both of the Xbox 360 systems online at the same time, it is very difficult to have both consoles connect to the same game at the same time (connected to the same host / server / lobby). This is annoying when I want to play online with a friend.
Is there a way to allow two gaming devices to work online at the same time if both are connected to my modem?
Thanks.

Using the Airport with an Xbox 360 and such

Hey guys I'm thinking of buying a new Airport Extreme N for my home since my linksys router is being stubborn. I have an xbox 360 and i was wondering if it worked well with it. What i mean is it faster with the Extreme and is it very reliable. Thanks guys for helping me out and have a Merry Christmas. --- Vinny the Pooh

I just got the Airport for Christmas and it only took a couple of minutes to set up with my xbox 360 and all of my computers connected right away. The signal is twice as good as the signal with my linksys router was. Much better for xbox live. Good luck

Airport Express in 802.11n mode with an Xbox 360

I have an Airport Express (with software 7.5.2) and am having problems connecting my Xbox 360 in 802.11n mode. I have an Xbox 360 (one year old, not the new 360 S Console) and an Xbox Wireless N Networking Adapter (Model 1398).
I believe my Airport Express is working fine as I've been able to connect my MacBook and iPad 2 when I've run the Airport Express in any combination of modes -- 802.11g 2.4 or 5.0 GHz, 802.11b compatibility, etc.
I've also found that the Xbox will connect when I run the Airport Express in 802.11g mode, but it fails to connect in any n mode. I've tried several combinations including varying the security -- WPA2 or no security at all. Since the same Xbox and Apple hardware can connect when running in 802.11g mode, and I've got Apple devices talking to the AE in 802.11n mode, I'm suspecting the Xbox hardware.
I've looked through a few forum posts here, and most of them seemed to be older and referenced a bug in an older version of the AE software. At least one mentioned that the person had a defective Xbox wireless adapter, which I'm beginning to suspect.
I've even turned on syslog logging on the Airport Express and used my MacBook as the syslog server. Even though I've turned the Syslog level up to 7 (Debug) on the AE, I don't get any messages about Xbox connection attempts -- just successful connections from my iPad and MacBook.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

Hi. Thanks for the reply. It turns out that the router was not going into n mode because of the security I set on it. I finally figured this out and the AE did connect in n mode after all.
Well at least it's working now but I feel a little bad for posting when it was my fault!!
Cheers!

Can i use my Creative Zen Touch with my Xbox 360

Hello, wondering if you can help me out with the question above, and if you know how to make it work. If you could help me i'd be grateful.

You can use the Zen Touch with the Xbox 360, but you would have to update the firmware on the player to an MTP (2.x) firmware. This will slightly change the way the player works on the PC. For more information on MTP, check this knowledgebase article.

ICMP Error with 2nd XBOX 360

I have two xbox 360's connected to my WRT610N router. Everything worked fine up until the point that I updated my firmware to the latest release a few days ago. Now, on my second 360, I continue to receive the error:
"Your console can connect to Xbox LIVE, but your router or gateway isn't properly responding to ICMP responses"
My original 360 still connect to Live without an issue. I have the following settings on my router for connecting to Live:
1. Under Port Range Triggering, I have two entries to forward ports 88 and 3074.
2. Under QOS, I have an internet access priorty application setup for live that has a priority of High for ports 88 and 3074.
Before I upgraded my firmware, setting number one was not necessary. If I disable the first setting now, my original 360 gets a strict or moderate NAT.
If you have any ideas or recommendations for settings, I would be happy to try them out. I would also happily downgrade back to the original firmware if someone could point me to that version somewhere.

Since you have connected 2 XBOX 360 to your Routers, and you have already done Port Triggering for your XBOX on your Router, If your 2nd XBOX is not getting connected to your Router i think you need to do DMZ on your Router for your XBOX and give a static Ip to your XBOX and after this Test the Connection on your XBOX it should work.

Airport Extreme With Current XBOX 360

Will the current XBOX 360 (sold for $299.99) with the XBOX 360 Wireless Network Adapter be able to connect to the Apple Airport Extreme?

Cannot have two computers online at same time

I've been using Time Capsule as my wireless router since April of this year. Both my iMac and MacBook could get online at the same time with no problem--UNTIL I had to move my computers and Time Capsule to a table about 10 feet away in the same room.
I shut down, unplugged, moved, plugged in, turned on the whole setup within about 20 minutes. When I tried to go online, for some reason I had to set up another wireless network. I did this on the iMac. Now, whenever I'm online with the iMac, if I take the MacBook online, the iMac can't get back online until I go through the network diagnostics routine and reselect my network and reenter the password. I checkmark the option to save the info for the keychain. iMac goes online again, until I open up the MacBook again and the whole process starts over.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Of course you can have multiple documents open at the same time not only in InDesign, but Photoshop and Illustrator as well.
The second document doesn't replace the first. Simply adjust the window sizes.

Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

They can, but not at the same time.
If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message. If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?
