Hello
I am not expert for Xbox but if you Google around you will find many articles and comments about that. Before you wait here and hope that someone has the same unit and Xbox check a little bit what other forums offer as solution.

Using Airport Extreme as a wireless adapter for an xbox 360 and/or computer

I have a wifi network that is successfully broadcasting internet, i also have a spare Airport Extreme that i would like to use as a wireless adapter for my xbox 360.
My Existing network is being broadcast from a D-Link modem so it doesn't support "extending a network" with airport extreme
What i want to achieve is:
Wifi Internet being broadcast by d-link, received by Airport Extreme WIRELESSLY, then sent via a WIRE to my xbox 360's ethernet port so that i can access internet on my xbox 360.
Unfortunately:
My Xbox 360 doesn't have built in wireless
Connecting to the d-link network wirelessly (with the airport extreme) doesn't seem to give me a wired internet connection (from the airport extreme)
I don't want to extend the network wirelessly
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance to any users who know how to solve my (probably simple) problem

Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

Internet Routing a limited-access PC to my iMac AND xbox 360

Hello All,
I have a company work computer (PC) at home which does not have administrative access, however, I've been able to download software like firefox and save it to my desktop only.
Next to this PC, I have my iMac. On the other side of the wall, is my tv room with our xbox 360 which is really a powerful online gaming console.
I have been frustrated in the past in routing an internet connection to be shared with the PC and iMac. And now I'd like to share the internet with the 360 at the same time. I've had to share the internet "cave man" style by unplugging my Comcast Modem, unplug the ethernet connection, reconnect the ethernet from whichever system I want internet on, and then plug in the power.
I have tried many times to make this work but have been unsuccessful as I think it's tricky to make the PC and iMac work together. The IT people at work say the iMac has it's own IP number and I don't know if that's prevent the network from working. I've been trying to research the "how-to" and came across something about a "DHCP" but I don't even know if that's my issue.
I'm reluctant in buying an airport router from Apple because it's not 100% refundable if the packaging is open.
If you can help, please teach me how to do this. A huge thank you in advance.
Thank you!

By default most routers do not use the MAC address for distributing connections, but they can be configured to do so. Modern routers' security settings can be configured to allow access only to machines whose MAC addresses have been entered into the Include list. This creates a "private" network only accessible to those whose MAC addresses have been added to the list, and prevents others from gaining access to the network. Used together with passwords and firewalls they provide effective barriers to prevent unwanted access to the network. Using the MAC address is a good way of securing a wireless network from access by users "outside" of the local network.
The mechanism used to share an internet connection is called NAT (Network Address Translation) that is used to "map" a real IP address (the one received by the modem from the ISP) to multiple devices. The actual assignment of the local IP numbers is usually done by the DHCP server in the router (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.) The DHCP server obtains all the IP parameters required by connected devices so they can communicate through the router - the important ones being the Gateway IP, real IP, network mask, and the local IP.
In theory a router makes it possible for multiple device such as a Mac, a PC, an XBox, and a printer to all connect to a local network and to communicate with each other. I don't use any gaming machines like an XBox, but my home LAN is setup using an Airport Extreme Base Station that is connected to my cable modem and to a high speed network switch. I have three computers, two network printers, and a SlingBox currently connected in the network. The latter connects wireless from an Airport Express. In addition to the devices normally connected there are two other laptops that may connect wirelessly when needed. I have a second Airport Express in the house that is used to help extend the network because my house has plastered walls with metal laths that tend to reduce wireless signal strength.

Nokia Lumia 800 + Xbox 360 BT headset = Best Combi...

I just tested out my Xbox 360 BT headset w/ my Nokia Lumia 800 and it works much better than my Plantronics BT headset. Speaker is louder, connection is a breeze, I know I would always have to pair my phone every time w/ the Plantronics BT, w/ the Xbox 360 BT it connects everytime. Another thing I was surprised at was it supports ADP2, so you can listen to your music or watch netflix and hear the audio through your Xbox 360 BT headset. If you're looking for a headset try the Xbox 360 BT headset.

Hello
After all I managed to connect it to the sony bluetooth headset via the nfc function! But manually it wouldn't find either of the two headsets and yes I did the steps you said
The devices you are trying to connect to the phone have to be in the bluetooth pairing mode before the phone will see them in bluetooth.
Read up on how to put the headsets in pairing mode. Should be in the literature that came with them.

WRT610N with 4 xbox 360s accessing Xbox live...Assistance Please

I have a DCHP connection to the ISP Comcast. 25mbsp download speed (fat pipe) I live with four roommates and we all have xbox 360s 2 wired and 2wireless and 3 wireless PCs and 1 wired pcs .The PCs I am ok with setting up.
I was about to tackle this when I started going through the settings for this router (feature rich comes to mind).
I have some questions with some of these features so I can get all four xbox360s connected to xbox live with out getting kicked out or game lag. We have experienced this with our old Belkin.
Single port forwarding, port range forwarding, port range triggering and of course the DMZ are all available for this router and I am requesting some guidance as to set this up.
Should I set up Static IPs for all the xboxes and forward the ports TCP 80; UDP 88; UDP 3074; TCP 3074; UDP 53; TCP 5 to each static IP? Can this router handle opening ports for multiple static IP's? Can I combine single port forwarding with port range forwarding? Should I combine both with setting up Port Range Triggering?
I read through the manual but still am a little perplexed...
Noob needs some guidance
thank you

Thank you for replying and for the solution. I will try it tonite and actually in the link you sent the tech stated:
"These settings will work even if you have one or multiple consoles running behind the router"
So I will be trying this for all four xbox 360 and I will let you know how it goes.
cheers

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.

Is there a way to play on the same wireless network with 2 different xbox 360 accounts?

Is there a way to play on the same wireless network with 2 different xbox 360 accounts?

Not sure what your question has to do in respect to Apple networking, but if you're asking can you use your Xbox 360 on a wireless network (regardless of the router's manufacturer) to access different Xbox Live! accounts, then the answer is yes.

XBOX 360 media sharing across wired/wireless

I have a WRT54G, 2 Windows machines, and an XBOX 360. Everything works as expected except that I cannot connect the PC's to the XBOX except via wireless. If a PC is wired to the router, Windows Media Player doesn't see the XBOX. If I ping the XBOX while connected via a cable, I do have connectivity but the first ping takes ~40ms and then drops to ~1ms, which seems to indicate an ARP was required.
I updated the firmware on the router to the latest (v4.21.1 ) but the problem persists.
It seems that the devices can only communicate over whatever ports/protocols required if they are both on wireless (or possibly both wired works as well; haven't tried). I don't see any setting in the router that seems relevant, but I'm hoping I've just missed something. It would be very nice to be able to be able to use my desktop via a wired connection, and have access to it's music on the XBOX. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

PS3 / Xbox 360 / PC Router Guide For GAMERS

Downloadable for Wordpad or Microsoft Word: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b1e67ga/n/Gaming_Router_Guide.rtf
Or just read below:
PS3, XBOX 360, PC GAMING
Router Guide and Modem Guide
Introduction:
Having issues trying to get your PS3, or XBOX 360 from Strict, or Moderate NAT? Want to get Type 2, "Open" status? Then follow this guide step for step.
(Please refer to your manual or other posts if you are unsure how to access a certain step, or post a quick reply on the forum. You can usually access your Linksys router via Internet Explorer by typing 192.168.1.1 - password is usually admin, username blank or admin as well.)
All of these steps were performed on the following test setup:
1 - Laptop PC (Windows XP)
1 - PS3 Console
1 - Motorola Cable Modem (SB6120)
1 - Linksys Router (WRT310N V1)
Firmware Update:
1)   Download the latest firmware for your router
2)   Install firmware onto router.
3)   Wait 1 minute after it has finished
4)   Unplug your Cable or DSL Modem's power, and ALL other devices that connect to the router. Leave them off.
5)   Click the "Reset to factory defaults" button in the router."
6)   Wait 1 minute after the lights stop flashing erratically.
7)   Physically go to the router, using a pointed object press the "Reset" button and HOLD for 30 seconds, then release.
8)   Access the router interface (example: 192.168.1.1)
Quick Tips and Information:
*The following settings are assuming you are now at "Default" settings. If you are not, than some settings may have been overlooked and you may have the wrong settings.
*You MUST use a WIRED connection for these steps. You can even use your PS3 or Xbox 360, and use the browser to access the router if your console is a wired connection. That is what I had to do, because my laptop is wireless only.
*The biggest mistake people make, is not clicking "Save Settings" at the bottom of each page, before moving to the next section. You MUST click "Save Settings" on each little page. Including the sub-pages. This is a huge deal. Even though the settings will "Stay" how you clicked them, they do not actually go into effect unless you hit "Save Settings" on every page.
*At this stage, any unnecessary devices must be turned off. Only the router and one device should be connected through wired Ethernet. Use that device to perform the following steps:
SETUP > Basic Setup
9)   Internet Connection Type: Automatic DHCP
10) MTU: Manual, 1500
11) DHCP Server: Enabled
12) Start IP Address: 192.168.1.2
13) Maximum Number of Users: 2 (set for how many devices you have. 1 laptop, 1 ps3 = 2)
14) Client Lease Time: 0
15) Time Zone: Set for your time, and "Check" automatically adjust for daylight savings.
*Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
16) DDNS and Mac Address Cloning tabs should have "Disabled" option set.
*Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
WIRELESS > Basic Wireless Settings
17) Change to "Manual"
18) Network Mode: Wireless-G Only (My laptop is wireless and has a G-card. Set accordingly)
19) SSID: set this to something you like: (example Pro Gamer)
20) Standard Channel: 11
21) SSID Broadcast: Disabled
22) Wireless Security and Mac Filter tabs should have "Disabled" option set.
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
WIRELESS > Advanced Wireless Settings
23) AP Isolation: Disabled
24) Frame Burst: Enabled
25) Basic Rate: All
26) Transmission Rate: 54 Mbps (I am using wireless G. Set accordingly, but do not use auto.)
27) CTS Protection Mode: Disabled
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
SECURITY > Firewall
28) SPI Firewall Protection: Disabled
29) "Uncheck" ALL options: Filter Anonymous Internet Requests, Filter Multicast, Filter Internet NAT Redirection, Filter          IDENT, Proxy, Java, Active X, Cookies.
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
30) VPN Pass-through tab: should have everything "Enabled"
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
APPLICATION AND GAMING > All Tabs
31) Skip this section for now, however if you did NOT reset your router to defaults before beginning. UNDO anything you         already have enabled on each of the five tabs.
ADMINISTRATION > Management
32) Router Password: change to something you use
33) Web Utility Access via Wireless: Disabled
34) Remote Management: Disabled
35) UPnP: Disabled. Including the 2 options below it.
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab
36) On the Diagnostics tab, click "Reboot" (may be located on very first page under “Setup”)
37) Restart whatever machine you are currently using to do this.
38) Turn on all devices that will be connecting to the router, except the cable/dsl modem.
39) Log into the router with your new password. On the first, page you should see "DHCP Reservation" click this. At the top, you should see one device named PS3-something probably numbers. If it is blank but there is an IP address, that is okay too. Click the box to the right side of it. Your other devices should be there too, such as laptops and consoles, etc. Click the box next to each of them. Then Click, "Add Clients" Now you have just assigned a Static IP Address without going through the hassle of doing it manually. Now you will always have the same IP Address for each device.
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab
40) Go to "Application and Gaming" click on the "DMZ" tab. Change DMZ to "Enabled."
Source IP Address: "ANY"
41) Now for the most important part. Most people use destination IP Address. However, if for some reason your IP address of your device changes, well then you are screwed. So instead, click MAC Address, then click "DHCP Client Table" and then "Select" the device that you GAME on, such as PS3 or Xbox360. Click "Close."
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab
***** IF you game on multiple devices, such as a desktop computer, and a ps3. You must DISABLE DMZ, and instead ENABLE UPnP. Please be sure to also enable the 2 options right Below UPnP. Many people do not enable the third, and sometimes even the second option. This causes hosting/joining issues, as the ports do not open/close properly. If you only have 1 gaming device, DMZ is the better choice. However, if you game on more than 1 device, use UPnP.
***** DO NOT ENABLE DMZ & UPnP TOGETHER.
42) Go to "Administration" > "Diagnostics" > "Reboot"
43) Restart ALL devices (Except cable/dsl modem) then connect them to the router.
44) I would connect my laptop now, by using the dell wireless manager I have, use the wizard to find "Non-Broadcasting"       devices. Then I manually type in my SSID: (Pro Gamer) it pops up. Click "Connect,” then "Lock" then "Apply"
45) For my PS3 I turn it on, go to Network Settings, then Connection Settings, "CUSTOM"
      Leave everything Automatic or "Default" except for these:
      MTU: 1500 / UPnP: Disabled (If DMZ is enabled on the router) / UPnP: Enabled (If UPnP is enabled on the router)
If your console (ps3/xbox360) was the wireless device, then simply select, "Wireless" and click manual SSID type "Pro Gamer" or whatever your SSID is, then continue with the rest of the settings. Security should be none/disabled.
ALMOST DONE!
This next tip is almost completely UNKNOWN by the gaming community. However, it is spectacular. Did you know the cable companies increase their speeds over time for FREE? Here is how to get your free upgrade. Even if your speed does not change, this will upgrade your Cable Modem's firmware! (DSL modems must be done manually, check online.)
Use a 7/16 wrench if connections are too tight.
While the Modem is OFF, unscrew the coax cable from the modem. PAY ATTENTION to this step. Now unscrew the other side from the wall or splitter. Then, REVERSE them. Reconnect the coax cable to your modem using the OTHER side (the one that was plugged into the wall), and vice versa. Make sure they are snug, but do not over tighten.
What does this do? Well I do not know the exact inner workings, but my friend who works for Comcast told me about this trick. It forces their system to re-register your Cable Modem. So now, you get a new IP Address, and it forces your modem to check for the latest firmware update. Along with that, come your increased speeds for FREE.
a)   Now, plug in the power to your modem. Wait until all lights are steady.
b)   Then go to your computer, (Do not use the PS3 or Xbox for this step)
c)   Type 192.168.100.1 (might be different for your modem, Google it)
d)   This is your MODEM's page.
e)   Look around for an option that says, "Reset to Defaults"
f)   Click "Reset to Defaults"
g)   Wait 30 seconds. It will not do anything.
h)   Now, you must click the other option, "Restart Cable Modem"
It will now clear out the memory, check for new firmware, get an updated IP address, and hopefully give you improved speeds!
That is all. Happy gaming! Visit www.speedtest.net and www.pingtest.net to test your connections.

Hey thanks for this, but one thing I have to ask is about the modem part. I unhook the cables and reversed them and then turned on the modem the lights are on and stable now. I have a sb6121 and when the modem is completely active it goes green, blue, blue, green, which is power, downstream, upstream and then online. But when I did what you said it is green, blue, "green"!, green. So since its different do I wait for the upstream to turn back to blue, or do I have to call comcast and give them the mac address again? I have been waiting for 5 mins so far and don't want to restore defaults and restart till I know I should for sure.

XBOX 360 Hardwired to iMac Wifi'd to a Belkin router

I don't want to fork up the 80 bucks to buy the wireless card for my 360 because the signal in my house is poor due to all of the steel in our walls i'm guessing...and I was wondering if there was a way to hardwire my 360 to the back of my iMac and use the iMac as a Bridge to get the net on my 360? THANKS

If your iMac is currently accessing the Internet wirelessly, you can use OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share that Internet connection through the iMac's built-in Ethernet port as follows...

Getting DSL Modem, TimeCapsule, and XBox 360 to play nice

I just bought a 1TB Time Capsule and pretty much hooked it up without reading the manual by using what seemed like the defaults. Everything seems to be working fine...I've got internet access, my two MacBooks are backing up using Time Machine...my only issue is that XBox 360, which connects wirelessly, is offline, (i.e., it can't connect to XBox Live.)
I have AT&T DSL internet. I plugged my TC into the Westell DSL Modem and ran the Airport configuration software. Using the default or recommended options, My TC assumed the settings for the wireless server of my Westell Modem. (I selected the "Bridge" setting when I got to that part.) When I was told to turn off the other wireless device (My Westell modem's wireless), I just logged on to the modem and turned off the wireless.
Everything worked fine...until I went to get on to XBox Live. It fails the connection test on XBox. (Everything else still works great.)
What do I need to do to get the XBox back up and running? It appears that my Westell is the router, handing out IP addresses, and my TC is just a wireless bridge to my Westell. Why wouldn't it hand an address to the XBox just like is doing for my two MacBooks?
I still have my HP Color LaserJet hooked up via ethernet to the Westell.
Is there a better way to hook all this up?

Maybe I shouldn't have said I have the "default settings". At each step along the initial configuration path, I read the details for each option, and choose the path that would seem to work best in my environment.
In my initial post that indicated that I chose the "Bridge" route that you recommended, but my XBox 360 is not getting an IP address from my Westell DSL modem. Yet my 2 MacBooks, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 iPhones and 1 iPod touch all seem to get served IP addresses without a hitch.
There was a was an option about NAT & Something else after "Bridge" was selected. Is there something about that setting that would allow Mac stuff to access my network, but prevent a Microsoft-rigid device like an XBox 360 from gaining access?

XBOX 360 Media Sharing Help

After spending 4 hours on the phone with Linksys and Microsoft, I am still unable to get my Xbox 360 to connect to my PC. Our network is set up correctly with another PC that is connected wireless and of course an XBOX 360. So I am able to access the internet on the other PC, and connect to XBOX live on the 360. I have opened all ports, disabled all firewalls (ya, im just waiting to get hacked by this point), and still can not get my computer to connect to media share (yes, I enabled the 360 in WMP as well). The X Box 360 recognizes the PC (as in my PC name shows up my tv screen in 360 menu) but it just wont connect for some bizarre reason. I have gotten to the end of both help scripts by Microsoft and Linksys, which I mean both guys on the phone didnt have any answers or any suggestions other than to call the other company for help. If anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, PLEASE, I beg of you!

Found something that worked
I've got a 3rd party firewall running, disabling it didn't give access to the xbox, but by adding access to a service, not port forwading, in it, I've now got access
I've just allowed all access to a the static IP adress I've set on my Xbox 360 and now it goes through.
I repeat, it's not port forwarding like almost everyone says, it's allowing access from that address to the computer, just be careful to set only the address of the Xbox, not all internet.
Hope it works for everyone

Xbox 360 and my Wireless N setup.

I am currently using WRT350N (the storage version of the 300N) and a WUSB300N for my for my laptop using wireless N. They all work pretty well together. I recently got an xbox360 and I am looking to get it connected to the internet and I have a few options for that. I'd like to get some questions answered before I actually choose an option.
1. One option is to get the default Xbox360 Wireless USB adapter is a bit expensive and is a G only adapter, I assume I would have to switch all my other devices to G to get this to work correct? It would be nice to keep using N and not have to flip settings when ever I switch from laptop to 360.
2. Another option is to get a WAP4400N wireless access point. This is about $150 but is more versatile. Could I hook this directly to my 360 and use it to connect to my WRT350N with out any issues?
3. Lastly an option is to forget all this and just deal with having to run a 50' cable when ever I want to connect to xbox live for $5.
Message Edited by Juiblex on 09-10-2007 10:52 AM

Same here, I recently got a WRT300N router. I got the 802.11n wireless adapter for my PC and I have an xbox 360 with the standard xbox 360 wireless adapter by microsoft.
I setup my network. When I double click My Network Places I can see all the devices on my network. I can see my xbox, my router, and my computer. I have my firewall completely disabled. I have enabled full sharing of all my media to my xbox. My xbox is able to connect to the router and I am able to log into xbox live too. Everything appears to be working both my PC and Xbox connected to the router just fine. My computer can see my xbox.
I'm running Vista Ultimate and when I try to add my xbox as a media center extender, WMC cannot find my xbox. I enter the 8 digit code but when I try to connect Windows Media Center cannot for some reason see my xbox or find it. Likewize with the xbox. It cannot find a computer running the WMC server.
Now here's the wierd part. I hook up a hard wired connection from my PC to my router (not my xbox, my router, my xbox is still communicating wirelessly). All of the sudden a notice pops up in my icon tray saying that windows has detected a media center extender and asks me if I want to setup up with WMC. So now I repeate the same process and try to add the xbox again inside WMC. It works perfectly. I am able to run media center and stream TV, etc.
Now that it's all setup, I removed the wired connection and WMC can no longer see my xbox. I think it has something to do with the fact that xbox is wireless g and the router and PC are communicating with wireless n. However it doesn't make sense because the xbox communicates through the router anyway and the router is backwards compatible with g so can anyone help with this problem?
Thanks

Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest). I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work. (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process: IP Address. I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for DHCP Server enabled).
I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that. I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible? If so, what am I missing here? I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer! I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

TROUBLE CONNECTING XBOX 360 WIRELESSLY TO MAC AIRPORT EXTREME NETWORK

Hi, and thanks for looking. Here are the facts in a nutshell.
1. Xbox 360, set up for wireless connection.
2. Wireless network, all apple equipment. Main Base station is the new Airport Extreme, hooked to a Cable Modem (Toshiba), with transmission via Comcast Internet.
3. All wireless connections between Mac computers, and Dell PC's working flawlessly, including multiple printers.
4.Cannot connect to XBox 360 because when attempting to wireless network not recognized. When editing Wireless connection, by manually typing in the Network Name, and the WPA password, still does not work.
5. Incidentally, I have had this XBox connected before,until I purchased the new Airport Extreme Station (the rectangular one). What has changed? For one thing I added WPA security, and secondly, I got rid of a Netgear Router that I had been using for better distance, at the end of the Airport extreme chain. So the equipment is slightly different, and the security is definately different.
So please, someone tell me what I must do to have the XBox connect to a Mac AEx Network, that has WPA security, and then, how do I get XBox to recognize a computer.
Prior to this, without security, and with a netgear router as an ethernetted remote to an Airport Extreme, the XBox could get on the network, and see a Dell computer for programming. Now it can't do any of that. Sorry to be so long winded.
I've tried everything including turning the firewall off the Dell. I even tried putting the Netgear back on the network by ethernet, which then allowed the 360 to log on wirelessly, but, still could not see the Dell, even with the firewall off. Thank you

You should really search for your question in the Airport forum found here <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=140>. The forum you've posted in is dedicated to Macintosh and Windows compatibility issues. While XBox 360 and Windows are both Microsoft products they are not the same thing.
I think you'll find that many folks with the new Airport Extreme base stations are having compatibility issues with many devices when trying to use any security. The best workarounds are to either hide the SSID and restrict access using the network hardware address while using no wireless security, plug the XBox 360 directly into the station with an Ethernet cable or not use the new Airport base station altogether.
Good luck finding your answer! bill
