Time Capsule problems with the xbox 360

Im not going to type this all out again so i'll give you guys the link to my unanswered post on mac rumors.

Can anyone help?

Excellent. I did contact my ISP and cross-referenced their list with the bestselling cable modems on Amazon.com. Looks like the Motorola SB5120 Surfboard modem works great. It also has an ethernet port and cable so I guess that'll connect easily to Time Capsule since you said I only need an ethernet cable.
I guess I might have to make sure the initial setup goes good, in which case I might be back here to make sure I did that right.
Thanks for the help though. At least I'll know that I'll have the right hardware that works with everything I have.

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.

Time capsule - problems with directory

I have got time capsule running about two weeks ago and everything worked well Tuesday evening it came up with a message saying it could not access the directory on my Macbook pro - still doing it so switched it off - any suggestions?

Here's something weird. Another annoying issue I've had with TC is that it slows down the network over time. I'm on Uverse at 10/1.5 and after a week or so it's down to about 2.5 to 3 down. A reboot of my Mac and TC and the problem goes away. So while I'm musing about the problem with the directory, I notice I'm starting to slow again. I reboot, and guess what? My directory is back all the way to April when I set it up.
I'm beginning to suspect that TC/TM doesn't play well with a couple of other applications. One of the companies I'm working with uses a P2P system to send around some monster video files and I'm using something called Azureus (which is also hook up with an application called Vuez that seems to be a YouTube sort of thing). I run Azureus overnight as do most of the development guys I'm working with so we can send around some big video files and have them ready for review and discussion in the morning. I didn't have anything coming in or going out last night and didn't launch the program after the reboot and everyhing is fine so far. It's my first suspect. If not that, then something else maybe is fighting TM for resources? Anyway, I'll keep an eye on this and post if something becomes obvious.

Time Capsule as Samba Server + Xbox 360?

I'm trying to connect a my xbox 360 or PS3 to my time capsule so I can dump my podcasts onto my time capsule and then stream them to my TV (without buying an AppleTV... or Mac Mini, which is what I really want). I seem to understand I can connect my 360 to a Samba server, and that the TC can be a samba server, but I can't seem to figure out how to set that up.
If anyone knows how to either connect a 360 to a samba server or how to stream media to an xbox 360 (or PS3) from a TC... I would love some help! I've been searching Google relentlessly, but my time on message boards has taught me I'm terrible at searching...

Although the Time Capsule (TC) offers File Server services for SMB/CIFS, it is neither a Samba server nor a full-featured multimedia server. You can certainly store podcasts or other media files on it, but it will not have any means to stream these data to the XBox 360 or any other multimedia player device via the TC natively.

Having lag problems on the XBOX 360 - connecting to WRT160N wireless router.

Having lag problems when playing on the XBOX 360(wireless connection) after we installed our new WRT160N wireless router. Looking for ideals on how to fix this performance problem?
Cable Conpany: Comcast
Modem Model: zoom
Wireless Router Model: Linksys WRT160N

A few more thoughts:
- Changing the channel settings does NOT achieve anything. I manually tried every setting with no success.
- Changing the encryption settings did not help. I tried "open", WEP and WPA and none of them work.
- Even when this problem shows up, the xbox360 wireless adapter successfully finds and associates with the wireless network. It even manages to read data from the network - it just does it VERY SLOWLY and disconnects often. This causes extreme lag in xbox live games, which shows up as unpredictable play and disconnects from games.
- The fact that G-only mode works fine pretty much proves that this problem can be fixed with a firmware change. The xbox360 wireless adapter and the WRT160N can definately talk to each other using 802.11g successfully so there must be some issue with negotiating the correct version of 802.11x.
- I've considered trying a third-party firmware, such as DD-WRT to see if this fixes the problem. Has anyone tried this and if so what happened?
If you are seeing this problem, please reply to this thread and say so. If enough people respond perhaps Linksys will fix the problem. Even if you're not registered with this board, registering is very quick and easy so don't let that deter you.
Thanks

HT201250 time capsule problem with comcast

I have tried to Power down and back my Comcast cable modem and my Time Capsule and still can't connect to my T.C. wirelessly anymore.
I swiched from AT&T 2wire -----> Time Capsule
To: Comcast's SB6141 -----> Time Capsule
Thanks

Here is the power sequence for cable modems and routers.
Router - Time CapsulePower off.
SB6141 - Cable modem
Power off.
Wait 30 seconds
Power on and wait for all lights except the bottom one which would be your T.C.
Router - Time CapsulePower on
There is nothing to configure on your SB6141 cable modem. You might try a different Ethernet port in the rare possibility that the current port has gone bad. These are rock solid cable modems. Have the single-port SB6121.
You will need to run Air Port Utility. My Internet connection screen is set to Share a public IP address. And on the Internet tab, Configure IPv4 Using DHCP. Let the cable modem populate all the addresses on this screen and the DNS servers. Set up your LAN within the DHCP tab. I used 1 day for the lease. In Advanced -> IPv6, it is set to Link-Local only.
I gave my Airport Extreme a Name and intense password. Setting time automatically. Did not allow setup over WAN. Wireless Mode is Create a wireless network. Radio channel selection is automatic, and WPA2 security is up. I am running two wireless networks: 2.4Ghz 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n, and a 5Ghz with wide channels.
Don't forget to update the Time Capsule.
In System Preferences >Network, you may want to remove the wireless service and recreate it. On the Wireless > Advanced Screen, you will want to add the Time Capsule SSID to Preferred Networks, and select Remember networks this computer has joined. Then Apply.
If all of this hasn't helped, ask Comcast to ping your cable modem and see if there are any network issues between you and their head end. Occasionally, Comcast gets DNS amnesia and nothing works until they restore it.
Hope this helps.

Time Capsule, hardwired to TWO xbox 360's, and NAT issues.

Hello All,
I currently have an older Linksys WRT54G (version 1.0 LOL) which has been working fine for years. I recently bought my son an XBOX 360 for Christmas and we went through the issues of NAT and Call of Duty, and basically I have become quite knowledgeable on this topic. I recently added a SECOND XBOX 360, as it became apparent that one would not do with three boys in the house (Plus COD is a blast on line).
So I created a second Live Account and got the two xbox's running online stably with NAT wide open on both. This required abandoning the Linksys Firmware and installing "Tomato" on the WRT54G. That works GREAT. No modifications were required for the rest of the network including...
Macbook by Wifi, Minimac Hardwired (ya ya wifi works but hardwire is better), Airport Express (used only to stream music to stereo in family room - from ANY PC/MAC running Itunes...Itunes is VERY NICE), HP printer with network adapter, 5 other PC's including a mix of VISTA, XP, XP Pro, and multiple IPHONES, A Palm Tungsten C, WII, DS and of course the two hard wired XBOXs. NO Problems. The Tomato configuration only required the modifications for the XBOXs specifically as the rest of the network settings were not change after the firmware update.
What am I interested in? I'd like to upgrade to a Time Capsule for several reasons. One Newer wifi, faster, two frequencies, backup space for growing Mac branch of our network, and as the internet sharing router. AND to be able to access the TC from the internet for file access anywhere! LOVE THAT FEATURE. This requires the TC to be the first device after the cable modem as far as I can tell at this point. (any input on this specific feature would be great).
So I want to configure the TC with the input from the Cable modem as the main distribution of the internet. Then from the other NETWORK ports connect to my 20 port router for the rest of the house, as well as to the other items currently connected at the site of the current LinkSys Router (Mac Mini, Sony TV).
Also I need to maintain the current XBOX set up with (as well as Wii) with full open NAT on both XBOXs.
My question: Anyone here currently using the TC for hardwired connectivity for an XBOX with XBOX live running with open NAT for TWO XBOXs?
The issues with NAT and TWO XBOXs is that you cannot simply use PORT FORWARDing or PORT Triggering to make sure that the traffic goes to the correct xbox. The XBOX uses specific communication ports and the ROUTER needs to keep the traffic flowing properly or you get disconnected or never get open NAT (must have for XBOX live and internet gaming). There are many write ups on using Port Forwarding for one XBOX and setting the second one in the DMZ, but this does not work all the time.
The "Tomato" firmware on the LINKSYS allows fooling the router into giving a 'pseudo static' ip address to the XBOX's by doing MAC address based reservation of an IP number and then letting the DHCP give the xbox an IP address. The MAC address based reservation makes sure that the XBOX always gets the same IP address which for some GD reason must be in order for the traffic to be routed to the correct device. (you can of course use the same MAC address reservation for any device on the network).
Second Question: For those using the TC AND a second WiFi Router to do WIRELESS connection to the XBOX - which device do you have configured as the main INTERNET sharing router? I have read hear what appears to state that the TC is the main router and the other WiFi the secondary. Thus the ROUTING is still being done by the TC and the other wifi device is being used simply as a WiFi Access point/switch. If this is the case would the firmware on the TC allow the proper routing for TWO XBOXs on the network?
Thank you,
Mike

The ports are 53, 80, 88, and 3074. Since you are trying to make two Xbox consoles use those ports and you are trying to connect to a server, what you need to do is to use Port Range Triggering. You can't use Port Range Forwarding since it will only set those ports into listening mode to the IP address you set it. So if you use Port Range Forwarding it will only be open/available to one console(the one using the IP address).
You need to use PORT RANGE TRIGGERING. Disable Port Range Forwarding and DMZ. You need to enable UPnP as well if your Linksys router have this option (other model doesn't have this option but it is said to be enabled in default settings according to their tech support).
To solve the lag problem set your MTU size to 1364. This settings will work even if you have one or multiple consoles running behind the router.

Time Capsule - problems with file sharing

Time Capsule is working great with Time Machine, but I can't copy files to it even after enabling file sharing in AirPort Utility. I'd really like to move my iTunes library to it since the external drive it currently lives on is full and the TC has about 1.96TB still free. Any thoughts on what the problem is? I see it under "shared" in Finder, but all I can see is the "data" folder and I get warnings that the drive is read only. Thanks for any help you all might be able to provide!

Not Bob .. but it is fairly simple.
When we say external drive we mean a drive plugged physically directly into the Mac.
It can then be backed up by TM.
Just open the TM preference and click on the options.. it should automagically include all disks connected to local machine. You can exclude a drive though. Make sure nothing is excluded .. if it is uncheck it.
TM cannot backup a Network drive but can use a drive as long as it is correctly formatted and accessible to Mac OS as a target for the backup.
I would also recommend you do a straight backup of your disk. 500GB drive is cheap. Get a USB holder and do that direct file copy or use a software like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. The later can make a direct copy of the disk in the freeware version. IMHO it is a lot easier to recover.. the increments if you already have the bulk.

Time Capsule + Wired Connection for Xbox 360 Problom

i just bought a eithernet wire for time capsule since my my wireless network aint working i got it to work for my ps3 no problom but appertly the 360 is doomed all the way around it ses thers a problom with my ip adress when it seems fine im verry comfused at this matter is ther a way to fix this problom or even get the wireless way back aswell much aprecited

XBox360 could connect to an Express which is wirelessly or ethernet to the TC. You should be able to connect wireless to TC anyway w/o the Express. When testing that xbox360 go to "other." Change security password to WEP from WPA2 if you have to...

Problem with my xbox 360 and ps3

I have an The Sound Blaster? X-Fi Platinum Fatalty with front PanelAnyway, I'm trying to hook up my 360 to my x-fi so I can get surround sound. I plug the optical cable to the digital input on the front Panel digital-in then?
?when I turn my 360 on the initial screen I get sound but thats it. No sound?in the dashboard or in games.in the 360 I select the digital output and turned?on dashboard sounded,but there is still no sound. :mansad::mansad:

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have tried restoring the network settings and i have restarted router. I am just so disappointed because my ipod is the only one out of all my friends and family that does this(I know about 15 people with ipod touches and one with iphone). My router works fine with my ps3, xbox 360, and laptop. By the way, its not just my router. It does it with any of them. I have had friends that say their ipod has problems with album artwork too. And, if it makes a difference, it started doing this after i got an update via itunes. Also, the restores made it take longer to reconnect to the router so i really think its just my ipod. I guess im just gonna have to deal with it. Maybe version 3.0 will fix it just as 2.1 or so destroyed it.
One thing i just dont understand is why geek squad did what did to my ipod. I told them that it wouldnt stay connected to my router and the guy tested my battery and hard drive. What does this have to do with that? He also told me to restore it. I mean, no offense to geek squad, but my brother could go in there and teach these guys how to do this. He didnt go to college for this stuff either but he built all of our computers and anytime we have a problem, he knows exactly what to do. He also owns his own computer business and helps people fix their computers. The only problem is that he hates apple so he knows nothing about it. Apple is getting so annoying, coming out with newer versions of things every few months and making so much crap that no one needs. I just cant wait until microsoft steps it up and makes a touch screen, internet and email compatible, zune. Sorry, this is just so annoying and disappointing.

Is there a way to make the Time Capsule compatible with the iBook Clamshell (2000 not 1999)?

We upgraaded our router to the new time capsule over christmas break and it works great but our old ibook clamshell doesnt work with it. is says an error has occured when i try to connect to it.
Is there someway to connect the Clamshell?
Thanks!

What type of security is defined for your wireless network? I may be wrong, but I don't believe that the AirPort Card supports anything better than the very weak WEP encryption. It also only works on the 2.4 GHz band. I'm presuming you configured the Time Capsule to support that band.

Real Time Simulation, problem with the 3D Lookup table

Hello,
I have a problem with LabVIEW RT. I want to read under the parameters of temperature, time and voltage, the current out of a matrix.
The matrices differ only in the temperature (first entry in a matrix).
If the 3D Lookup table only get one matrix, I often get "Not a Number" as result. But not always, although the parameters remain the same.
If the 3D Lookup table gets three or more matrices, the result never be "Not a Number". But the 2 other matrices are "dummys" filled up with zeros, expect the temperature. Also the problem appears only if I start the test sequence as Startup on the RT-System. If I start the test sequence from the Front Panel, the 3D Lookup table works well, whether one or more than three matrices!
Its confusing, I know ^^
The appendices contains pictures from a matrix an from the Block Diagram

Hello salomon,
The 3D lookup table is not generated in my code, but is invoked as a constant. I examine the behavior of electrical loads in the cars. Consumers were in a climate chamber measured at various temperatures and these values were packed into a 3D lookup.
Helps you even further? : D

Problems with connecting xbox 360

i cant connect my linksys wireless router (model wrt54gs) to my xbox 360, can anyone help.

Are you trying to connect wirelessly or wired?
Try being more specific to the problem like is your ip or dns failing maybe
(You do know that you have to buy a game adapter for the 360 if you are trying to play wirelessly cause its not built in.)

Time Zone Problem with the Data

Post Author: sde
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
We are working on Remedy System. It basically stores all the data for different parts of the world into the database. While storing the date and time information it automatically converts it into PST( Pacific Standar Time ). But the reports to be made should be available to all the users from different time zones and they should see the date and time data as per their time zone. So do you have any idea about how can I convert data available from the database(PST) into the time-zone(will be varying) specific to the user? Is there any feature in WebI which will support this? I have tried with the preference-timezone option but that is not changing the data. Please reply if anyone has any idea.

Something in your installation has gone awry. It indicates that some program in your PATH is yet using Java 1.3 (maybe you have some java.exe in c:\windows that is using Java 1.3)

Apple tv & time capsule problem with ethernet

hi there. my apple tv and time capsule are working just fine on wifi. i want to stream movies stored on the TC faster via ethernet. i plug in the ethernet cable which works fine on other hardware and i cant access the movies. connected via DHCP and also tried a manual IP - still no joy.
HELP.....

I'm not exactly sure what an orange live box is, assume it's a router, is this the router that you mention or another box. What is apparent is that you have at least 2 routers and maybe three (no big issue - I have 6), what is important is that only one of them is issuing IP's.
You can do this either by DHCP or manually (I choose DHCP) from the first device in the chain, ie the one that your telephone cable plugs into, all other routers should be set up in bridging mode (or maybe WDS, but I doubt it from what you have told me)
Can you confirm this is your set up.
