  • Sharing Internet with xbox 360

    Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
    Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

    If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
    If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

  • Sharing Internet with Xbox 360 *DNS* -- Previous Posts Didn't Help!

    I am running OSX 10.5.1
    I want to share my laptop's wireless connection with my xbox via the ethernet port.
    My router's IP address is: 192.168.1.1
    My PowerBook's airport IP address is: 192.168.1.3
    Under Sharing, I have set it to share my Airport with Ethernet.
    *In the ethernet network panel of my PowerBook, my settings are:*
    Configure: Manual
    IP Address: 192.168.2.1
    Subnet Masks: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.1.1 (if this is left blank, the xbox can't correctly obtain an IP address, don't ask me why, and occasionally, it stops my laptop from getting internet... weird)
    DNS Server: BLANK
    Search Domain: BLANK
    *On my xbox, I have set it to:*
    IP Settings: Manual
    IP Address: 192.168.2.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.2.1
    DNS Settings: Manual
    Primary DNS Server: 192.168.2.1
    Secondary DNS Server: 192.168.2.1
    it gets as far as obtaining an IP address, but it fails the DNS check!!!
    I am at my wit's end!!!
    What can I do!?!?!?! I have tried everything.

    I'm not sure I can help troubleshoot your issue specifically, but I just went through the same process it sounds like you're trying to do and I found the following link to be very helpful:

  • If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth.  Might be worth a try that way.
    However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.

  • Connecting with Xbox 360

    is there a reason iPhones won't connect with Xbox 360's like iPods did?

    Because even though it plays mp3 and has ipod capabilites...it's a phone! Were you able to connect your previous cell phone to your Xbox?

    Hey kole71,
    That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

  • Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

    Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

    Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

  • Using macbook with xbox 360.

    I was wondering if I could hook up my xbox 360 to play through my future macbook. How well would that run? Or should I just not even try to attempt that?

    Are you asking if you could hook up your xbox to the mac to play games on the mac?
    If that is what your asking, I don't think it work work, I am sure you would be able to find a way, but it would be very slow. So I would suggest that you don't even try. I am not even sure if you could do that.

  • Time Capsule with Xbox 360 Live

    Hi,
    I just bought a Time Capsule and it works perfectly except that my NAT type on Xbox Live is now set to strict instead of open. It takes forever to join a online game so it's really annoying me.
    This is my setup:
    ---> Modem ---> Wire from Modem to Time Capsule (in WAN port) ---> 1 wire from TC to PC and 1 wire from TC to Xbox 360
    My PC is running on Windows 7 and I'm using AirPort 5.5.3.
    I've tried pretty much all the tutorials I could find online, but unfortunately none of them seem to work. I've set connection sharing to 'share one public IP-address', enables NAT port mapping protocol, added the Xbox Live ports in the Port Mapping Assistant, and my Xbox is using the IP which I set in the mapping assistant.
    Has anybody got an idea what I should change to get my NAT type to open? Thank you in advance.

    Does your ISP allow pppoe connections?
    If so you can setup the 546 in bridge mode.. just use the internal setup wizard, choose bridge, and finish the wizard. Then in TC choose internet tab and for connection type use pppoe and put in your ISP username and password.
    This is perhaps the best method. But it depends on the ISP using pppoe which is common in some places and rare in others. For instance in Australia where I am, all our ISP provide pppoe, and most do pppoa as well. In UK and many places in Europe, they use pppoa, which cannot be bridged to a router. So you must bridge somewhere else or use a different technique of handling the problem.
    The problem with the 546 in router mode, is that it uses cone nat. This starts to get complicated but some games depend on port forwarding of UDP protocol packets. You can indeed setup port forwarding or upnp in the speedtouch to handle this, but it still fails. There are special commands required to allow port forwarding through NAT.
    See this thread.

    Although it relates to a different model on a PS3 the basic issue is identical across all the thomson modem products.. and I am very pleased to finally be able to offer a solution. I worked hard with people who actually owned the box to track down the problem and find a solution.

  • Connecting iBook's internet to Xbox 360?

    I know this may be a long shot, but is there any way for me to use my iBook's wireless internet connection to set up live on xbox 360? thanks

    Actually yes. That's what I do when I go to my friend's house and his router isn't anywhere near his TV. I understand not wanting to drop $100 bucks on a wireless adapter.
    First you need to enable internet connection sharing for the ethernet card. Go into System Preferences then Sharing. Go to Internet tab and select to share your Airport connection. Make sure you have Built-In Ethernet selected below and click Start.
    Then you need to setup the ethernet card that you will use to plug your xbox 360 into and i always opt for manual setup rather than DHCP for internet connection sharing. Go into System Preferences and then "Network." Click on the "Built-In Ethernet." Click "Configure" at the bottom. Where it says "Configure IPv4" select "Manually."
    Set the network cards ip address to 192.168.2.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Set your xbox 360 to the following
    Go into your System Settings blade and select Network Settings. Edit, then make sure you select manual. After you enter the IP, Subnet, and Gateway. Just test it to make sure those clear. Your DNS won't pass right away. Then go back to the settings and select to edit your Primary DNS to the address below.
    IP address 192.168.2.2, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0, Default gateway 192.168.2.1, DNS 192.168.2.1
    I usually don't get as fast a connection as I do any other way but it works. If it works, hit me up on Live with FR at SG Big Pun.

  • Streaming Video From My Macbook to my Xbox 360

    I'm REALLY hoping someone can help.
    I was a windows XP user, and got my first mac a few months ago, I could not be happier....
    except I used to stream all my audio and video from my old laptop through my Xbox 360 to watch on my TV, and now I seem to have lost the ability to do this, can anybody help?
    preferably with programmes that are free or at least very cheap if i need other programmes to do this, I'm still paying off the macbook! lol
    thanks in advance for your help

    I have been using Connect 360 from Nullriver. It works very well and is well worth the $20.

  • Hooking MacBook Pro to XBox 360

    I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to hook a MacBook Pro up to an XBox 360 and run media presentations, watch photos etc on it.
    My boyfriend can do it through his PC but I was hoping there was a way to do it through my new MBP instead. It would be really handy if we were able to do it.
    Thanks for any suggestions or ideas you may have.

    Elgato. I'd say go with the EyeTV EZ. It'll run you $149. Just plug your 360 into the EyeTV, connect the EyeTV to your MBP via USB, and you're all set. I just picked one up just yesterday at Apple when I was accessorizing my shiny-new 17" MBP. Oh, how that baby purrs.... Anyway, that's what you're looking for.
    If you want, you can also get the EyeTV 250. It costs $199, but it has a built in encoder...meaning that you can use it like a TiVo: pause, fast forward, and rewind live TV. You just have to make sure to turn off the encoder when you're using the Xbox, otherwise there'll be a lot of latency and the image will lag.
    Of course, the EyeTV easy can record TV, too; you just can't pause, forward, and rewind like you can with the 250.
    Edit: Whoops. Thought you meant so you could run a 360 on a MBP. My bad. Well, that's how you'd do it, if you were wondering

  • Full-quality export settings for use with Xbox 360

    Greetings, all.
    I use Rivet to stream video from my Mac to my Xbox 360. Recently I purchased a Sony HDR-HC5 HDV camera, and I want to see that video on my TV at full quality. I don't have an HDMI cable or a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so my only option is to stream this video to the 360 via Rivet.
    To accomplish this, I have been trying to export my video at full quality from iMovie HD 6, but one of a couple things happens: 1- the resolution is intolerably low (I want 1080i), 2- the 360 complains about an unsupported format. I've tried exporting in QT format with expert settings, but no matter what I try, I have been unable to find a combination that produces 1080i that can be viewed on the 360.
    Surely somebody else on here has gone through this exercise and has figured out what works. If you have any info on this, please share! I searched through the archives and didn't find anything useful. I've also searched on Google and the answer is still elusive.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply, but the Xbox will in fact view MPEG-4, which iMovie can export. The only problem I'm having is with the quality of the output. The quality is in the movie that is exported, not in the Xbox's viewing of the movie - the movie looks just as bad on my Mac mini as it does thru my Xbox...
    With experimentation, I think I'm getting closer to my goal...
