Trying to connect to xbox live using my home network, I need help.

I have a xbox 360 that I want to connect to xbox live with, using my home network. Every time I try to connect to xbox live the only part that fails is the connecting to xbox live part. This is how my network is set up. I have Cox Cable as my ISP, a Linksys WCG200 gateway(v2), and WRT54GS(v7). The cable wire is connected to the WCG200 gateway, then an Ethernet cable connects the gateway to the WRT54GS router, and finally an Ethernet cable connects the router to my xbox 360. I have contacted Cox, Linksys, and Microsoft about the situation and they all say the problem is the version of the router. Someone told me that I may just need to change the firmware, but I don't know how to do that. If anyone could tell me what the problem is and hopefully how to fix it, it would be much appreciated.

u might to open port numbers 88 and 234 on your router
here's how to open ports
1: open IE and on the address bar, type in 192.168.1.1 and hit enter
           USERNAME: ( leave it blank )
           PASSWORD: admin ( all in lowercases )
2: click on the tab " applications and gaming "  then click on the SUBTAB port triggering.
3: you can just name the application like, box or whatever and fill in 88 for each of the boxes in the first line
4: same goes to application number 2 but you have to put 2304 for each of the boxes and pls do not forget to enable it, then save settings
5: Teset the xbox if it's now working.
6: if still not working, go to the SECURITY tab and uncheck the bock that says, " block anonymous internet requests and save settings.
7: teset xboox agan and if it still won't work
8: go to the SET UP tab and look for MTU.
9: set it to manual and lower down the size by 10.( by default, it's 1500. )→ save settings.
          Hope it will help. goodluck!

    Okay, so i've had my Macbook Air about a month now and I wanted to use it to connect to xbox live just like I did when I had windows. I bought one of the adapters as the macbook air doesn't have a ethernet port and I have tried a lot of the tutorials and walkthroughs that other people have posted but they all seem to be froma few years ago and don't work for me. If there is anyone that could give me some help I would really appreciate it.

  • ANYONE trying to connect to Xbox Live w/ GT704WGB PLEASE READ!!!!

    I have been having issues connecting to xbox live all week. Just got new phone/interent service set up monday(2-22-10) Could not connect to Xbox live, wired or wireless, but had not problem connecting wirelessly w/ laptop. the xbox first said NAT set to moderate and to disable UPnP, after that was fixed it said MTU insufficient and had to be set to 1364 or higher(let me save you the trouble of looking its already set to 1492 by default)  
    Contacted Verizon about this issue several times, along w/ intermittent calls to xbox tech support and even actiontec, until verizon finally got me to buy the premium tech support. Take my advice SAVE your money!!!! They did not fix my problem whatsoever. Actiontec finally told me that it was my equipment, so I contacted Verizon and after fighting w/ TS agents then finally after 2 hrs got what I wanted by talking to supervisor and she had them send me a new gateway. but after I got the new gateway, I set it up and had the same issue (so I guess it was not the equipment afterall).
    I did everystep the tech support people had done in the days past and still no connection. If you have had this trouble as well, let me save you the headache of hours on the phone w/ tech support people who are dumber than dirt(i spent a total of over 10hrs in 3 days on phone w/ various TS agents).
    If your actiontec gateway has been messed w/ in anyform or fashion, and connects wireless (or wired) just fine to other devices(PC Wii etc) w/o any modification to gateway, try this:
     RESET the gateway to factory settings(press the little red button on the back of the gateway w/ a pen or small object.
     after all the lights have come back on, go to the gateway site to modify it (enter 192.168.1.1    then hit enter) username is admin and password is password, by default.
    Go to Security, click on DMZ Hosting, click" on" and make sure it is for Xbox 360 not for your PC under DMZ Host PC Name
    Run a "Test live connection"? on xbox360 and it should connect to Xbox Live

    So glad to hear that I could help. No one should have to deal with all the stress and frustration that I had to endure just to get their xbox to connect. Its so incredibly frustrating to find out at the end that It is such an easy fix.

  • Having Trouble Connecting To Xbox Live using my router and wireless adapter.

    Okay, so this is kinda long but I'll try and speed through. Recently I moved from my old place to a newer place (larger) and before, my old spot worked perfectly, no troubles. Now, eversince i got my internet cable service re-hooked up I've had problems. My internet is fine, that's not the problem. It's my xbox live for my 360. My cable guy pretty much set up my living room with the main router and not my studio office which I keep my 360 in. Instead he told me it would be much easier to just go out and buy a wireless adapter for my PC to recieve the signal from my living room off the main family computer. Well, went out and bought a $80.00 wireless adapter top of the line and it works perfectly, I get the internet really fast. Problem is, my 360 will not connect now. It always says DNS failed. Well here's the problem. I have a Linksys router in my studio office that sits on top of my PC that i have connected to the ethernet of my PC, then in the 2nd or 1st port i have my 360ethernet wire connected to my xbox360. Still it says DNS failed. Shouldn't my router be getting the signal from my Wireless adapter that it's receiving from the living room? It's connected through the same computer yet it doesnt connect. It finds my I address, and it finds the network adapter yet it always fails my DNS. I've tried evern switching the xbox360 ethernet to the main ethernet port on my pc and that just makes me fail the IP address test. I need help guys. My wireless adapter for the pc is a Belkin but my router is a linksys and not sure if the 360 just doesnt recognize it or not. Is there settings I'm missing or something? Please help!!!
    The Burninator...

    On your 360 if u getting an error msg DNS failed,you can login to your router setup page and go to status tab, not the Static DNS1 and DNS2 numbers and u can give a static dns to your 360. its will resolve ur issue.

  • Ipod Touch Won't Connect to Internet Since Using Airport Home Network

    I searched the site, but can't find anything that helps (or that I can really understand). I previously had no problems with my Ipod Touch using my home internet via wi-fi. Ever since I upgraded to the newest airport, my ipod won't connect, and I've tried just about everything, but nothing works.
    I also have an old PC Laptop that used to connect, but it won't connect to the internet either since I got the new airport.

    I have the WRT54G Version 6. I could not connect -- First I updated the firmware. Check the linksys site for your router under support to ensure you have the most up-to-date firmware. Still could not connect. Observed which IP it was assigning to the XBox then put this IP address into the DMZ. It has worked since. Might work, might not. I noticed you have the V3 router, so hope this helps in some way.

  • Updated instructions for connecting to Xbox Live

    Hi everyone,
    Like many others, I can't seem to get my Xbox Live to connect consistently through the Airport Extreme. There is a ton of lag. I have been working on this for about a week and there have been some great posts related to this issue. However, all of the instructions and Youtube videos I have found aren't using the current OS, so I just can't seem to make it work.
    Can someone write out the detailed instructions for connecting to Xbox Live using Airport Utility 6.1? Or, if there is a post somewhere, I would appreciate it if someone can point me to it.
    Thanks!
    Patrick

    Hi there,
    You might need to forward/open ports on your router first so that your xbox's connection will work very well.
    In this link, Click Here, you can see an example on how to forward ports.
    But in your case, forward/open ports for your xbox's connection.
    Under the Port Range Forwarding page, enter the following:
    > Application=xbox1 Start Port=2869   End Port=2869   Protocol=TCP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    > Application=xbox2 Start Port=10280   End Port=10284   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    > Application=xbox3 Start Port=1900   End Port=1900   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    > Application=xbox4 Start Port=10243   End Port=10243   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
     > Application=xbox5 Start Port=88   End Port=88   Protocol=Both
          IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    > Application=xbox6 Start Port=3074   End Port=3074   Protocol=Both
          IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    Good luck!

  • How to connect to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router

    If the title got you here, then you are probably a Verizon DSL customer who is trying to connect your Xbox to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router and are getting nothing but errors saying, "your NAT is set too high", or, "Your MTU setting is too low", etc.  Well, after many calls to Xbox support, Actiontek support, and Verizon support, I finally came up with the solution myself.
    All that is needed is a little techie know-how about router settings and you'll do just fine!  However, if you are uncomfortable with doing it yourself (and it is really really easy to do!) then you can call Verizon support and have a tech support rep remotely conntect to your PC and make the changes for you: however, you have to speak with someone in advanced tech support and to do that you have to agree to a 1 year support contract to the tune of $14.95 per month in order for them to do it!  Scam???  You be the judge!
    So, here are the steps to take to get it working and by the way, YOU CAN NOT GET THE XBOX TO CONNECT TO THIS ROUTER WIRELESSLY!!  YOU MUST CONNECT YOUR XBOX TO THE ROUTER WITH AN ETHERNET CABLE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK!!!  If you don't heed this warning, you will unfortunatly go through all the steps below, only to find that you get the same errors but, ethernet is faster than wireless so it's better!....right?.....right?   (hears crickets chirping)....right?  Oh well, I tried!  Also, you must have your Xbox on in order to change the router settings (which you'll see why later) Anyway, here's the steps:
    1) On your PC, open a browser window and type in the address bar:  192.168.1.1 and press enter.
    2) You will then see the interface on which you will make changes to the router's settings.  If at any time you are prompted for a username and password (which should happen right after you press enter) the defaults are: username: admin password: password.  If you have changed these, enter what you changed them to.
    3)Click on the icon on the top labelled "Advanced Setup"
    4)In the left section, click "WAN IP Address"
    5)At the warning screen, click "yes"
    6)Scroll down until you see "MTU setting" and enter 1370.  NOTElease don't be tempted to either enter 1500 or leaving it at 1500 (which is the default) because you might know that 1500 is the maximum at which this can be set which is TOO HIGH AND WILL NOT WORK!  Trust me and enter 1370 and then click on "apply"
    7)Click on the top icon labelled "Security"
    8)In the left column, click on "applications".  This is where we are going to open the 3 ports that Xbox Live uses to communicate with your Xbox.
    9)In the drop down box labelled "PC Name" select "Xbox 360". This is why you had to have your console on and connected cuz if you didn't, it would not show up on the drop down list!
    10)Under "category" click on the bubble next to "user"
    11)Click on "New" which is one of the blue buttons near the bottom.
    12)As for the rule name, I entered "Xbox" but you can put whatever you want but I'd use that so you know it's the ports you opened for the console.
    13)For protocol, select TCP. (Yes you will also open the same ports for UDP but for some reason if you select TCP.UDP instead of doing them seperatly it doesn't work.....I dunno why!?
    14)For all 3 "Port start", "Port End", and "Port Map Start" put the # 80.
    15)Click "apply"
    16)Now, select UDP and put the same port # 80 and again click "apply"
    17)Repeat steps 13 through 16 except with the numbers 3074 and 53, clicking apply after each one.  What you should have now on the bottom are a list of all the ports you opened, one TCP and one UDP for each number totalling 6 entries.
    18)Click "back" to return to the Applications screen.
    19)If you have to, select Xbox 360 for PC name, and click the bubble next to "user" and you'll now see the entry called "Xbox" or whatever you called it.
    20)Click that entry to highlight it and then click the blue "add" button to the left and then click "apply" at the bottom.
    21)Close the browser screen and turn off your PC and Xbox and any other hardware connected to the router.
    22)Turn the router off and unplug it and wait about 5 minutes.  It can take this long for any residual current in the router to dissapate and for the NAT table to clear itself.
    23)Turn on the router and wait for the internet light to come on green meaning the router has booted and has an internet connection.
    24)Turn on the Xbox AND ONLY THE XBOX!
    25)There is no need to go into network setting as when the Xbox is connected by ethernet, it automatically configures and connects intself.  You can, however go into network settings and perform a connection test but this to is not necessary.
    You now should be able to connect to Xbox Live!  If not, you've done something wrong and must either go through all the steps again or let Verizon do it for you (for a fee that is).

    I followed jtktlw's instructions to the letter.  Problem was I had already enabled UPnP before doing so.  Afterward I disabled UPnP and rebooted....no change.  I reset the MTU to 1500...boom, it works.  Seems for me all I needed was to open the right ports to get it to work.

  • Unable to Connect to Xbox Live on Xbox One due to ...

    I have been on the phone for a few hours this afternoon trying to get this sorted and the conclusion of my last call to BT was that I needed to register on a tech experts website? Put simply, I need to open a list of seven ports that are listed here:
    http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live
    in ordder to be able to connect to Xbox Live with my Xbox One, this is an issue I have had since upgrading to infinity.
    Can somebody do it for me, I have the IP address of my Xbox One, or can somebosy point me in the right direction?
    It seems to be taking a very long time to get sorted.
    Thanks in advance.

    Think I can help here.
    First of all I assume that you have disabled UPNP on the hub?  If you havent yet then you have two choices:
    You can disconnect the Xbox One and 360 from the network, perform a full factory reset of the hub and then immediately disable UPNP before doing anything else, or..
    Disable UPNP and wait a good few hours (I'm talking overnight here) before reconnecting the XBox One and 360 and trying again.
    When UPNP is enabled and the XBoxes are using the network it will write rules on the fly to the NAT table, you probably won't be able to apply port forwarding rules to a device for those ports because the Hub can see that they're already in the NAT table.  They will eventually expire but this can take some time.  When you disable UPNP, these rules don't seem to be removed as you might expect.
    Next, you definitely don't need to forward ports 80 or 53, these are allowed by the hub automatically and traffic for each will be correctly forwarded to whatever device by the hub.  You shouldn't need to open 88 either.
    You have an XB One and a 360 and they both can't share the same port, that being 3074.  However, if the 360 is using 3074 you can forward 3076 to the XB One instead, or vice versa.
    When you've applied all of your port forwarding rules run the XBox network test repeatedly until it gives you an open NAT, a maximum of six times should do it, and you may want to do this every time you turn on an XBox.  I've previously posted about why I think you have to do this sometimes with the BT Home Hubs.
    If you're still not getting an Open Nat, turn off the XBox and unplug any powerline adapters on its chain for 5 minutes, then reconnect the adapters in sequence from the hub and try again.

  • New Fios G1100 and Multiple Xboxs Connected to xbox live issues.

    I just upgraded my router from the Actiontec MI424WR to the G1100. Now I am into an issue with Fios keeping a connection to xbox live on selected xbox devices. I have 3 xbox 360 and 2 xbox one connecting to the network. Both Xbox One maintain solid connection to live, but the 360 experience I have a totally different experience. My set up has 1 Xbox One Wired, 1 wireless. I have 2 xbox 360 wireless and 1 wired. I am also experiencing problems with one of my desktops which is wired that randomly loses a connection to internet. I been using this TRENDnet 8-Port 10/100Mbps GREENnet Switch (TE100-S80G) to help with wired connections. Both Xbox Ones on the network remain connected at all times, or at least I haven't seen a drop. My experience with my xbox 360s are completely different from my Xbox One.They all drop connection randomly every 5 to 20 min. I can immediately sign back in , but this continuosly happens. I was able to get one xbox 360 to maintain a continuous connection by putting it IP address and enabling DMZ on it. I have tried port forwarding but that doesn't work. Anybody have any suggestions or solution? Or should I just shipped back the G1100 and go back to Actiontec MI424WR.
