Connecting my e2000 to my pc, xbox and ps3

I've recently started studying for the CCNA exam and one of the first things you learn is the type of cabling required between devices.
Basically, I got curious and checked to find that my pc and e2000 router are connected via a straight-through cable even though it's supposed to be that a router and pc share the same pin layout and should be connected via crossover cable. It's the same story with my xbox and ps3 (also wired directly to the router via straight-throughs).
I'm just trying to better understand the relation between devices and cabling to avoid future confusion.
Thanks

Some devices such as routers will have advanced circuitry, which enables them to use both crossover and straight-through cables. In general, however, straight-through cables will not connect a computer and router because they are not “unlike devices. To know more about the dirrence of the two cables visit the links below

  • WRT320N. Port forwarding help. Xbox and ps3 playing at same time. NAT issues

    Hi
    I'm trying to have both my xbox and ps3 play with open NAT's for online gaming. I have had success utilizing info from 'portforward.com'. But the solutions will unlock OPEN NAT for either the ps3 or the xbox .. one at a time. Is there a way to get both to be open?
    It seems like one main conflict is the success depends on both utilizing port 3074. But I can't have both use it? ( obviously).
    I tried port forwarding the xbox per specs off of this forum and that works great.. And DMZ ing the PS3. But like i said before. Most solutions
    leave one console with OPEN and one with Moderate.

  • My iPad says it's connected to my wifi but nothing works or loads. My xbox and cable box work on my wifi.  Please help?

    My iPad says it's connected to the wifi but nothing loads. My xbox and cable box connect and work just fine.

    Hey JnastyCL,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps specific to the symptoms you are experiencing:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap  and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
    If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
    Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
    If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
    If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
    If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
    If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • PS3 error: "An Ethernet cable is not connected" with E2000

    Problem: My PS3 displays An Ethernet cable is not connected almost immediately after logging in. I am connected through a Linksys E2000 router.  If I reset the cable modem, it will work for 10-15 minutes until it errors out again.  If I plug the PS3 directly into the cable modem, it works fine. I'm really confused.
    1. I do not believe it is the router, as my computer is also connected to the router, and works fine. My Touchpad is connected wirelessly and also works fine.
    2. I do not believe it is the PS3, because it works fine if I plug it directly into the cable modem. I tried switching to wireless and it finds a lot of other signals (including mine), but I have the same problem if I choose wireless.
    I first had this problem with a launch PS3 and a Netgear router after almost three years of no problems. This was back in November 2010.  I replaced it with a Linksys E2000 router in January 2011, and a slim PS3 in late September 2011.
    I had no problems from January until last weekend.  I have tried to do the DMZ trick, but no luck. I have also tried to set the primary and secondary DNS to 4.2.2.1.
    Does anyone have any insight? If I need to buy a new router, I will, but I don't understand because it works for my computer and Touchpad.  Is it something crazy like when November comes, my internet settings get corrupted?

    Try using the DHCP reservation feature to give your PS3 a "static " ip outside of the DHCP server range. So something above the range called "IP Address Range". 192.168.1.150 should be good, but you can check to confirm that this address isn't in that range. 
    Make sure your PS3 is set to obtain the network information automatically, NOT through a custom setting. Also, make sure your PS3 is turned off completely before doing this. 
    Could you also give us a screenshot of the "signals" tab when you go to 192.168.100.1?
    I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

  • Xbox and 5.1 so

    I have creative Inspire 5200 5. speakers and the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Using the xbox advanced av pack, I have connected an optical spdif from the xbox to the optical in on the front of the external I/O hub. I have tried numerous settings both on the xbox and in the creative controls. The only sound I have been able to have produced is in the initial menu on the xbox, and this is in stereo only. The settings I achieved the sound with is to have dolby and dts turned on with the xbox settings and the creative settings to have spdif set to default and to use the installed decoder. Why is it when a game or movie starts that there is a quick click noise followed by no sound at all? Can anyone tell me what settings to change? Why would I only get sound sometimes, it couldnt be a physical connection problem.
    CL_moderator (or anyone knowledgeable) PLEASE help.

    Both Apple and Netflix claim to be aware of this issue and say they are 'working on it.' The 6.1.1 AppleTV update appeared to fix the issue but it returned a few days later. There are several other active discussion threads about this here. Nothing to be done but sit back and wait for it to be resolved. If your receiver has Dolby Pro Logic you can use those synthesized DD 5.1 modes until the fix comes.

  • Connecting LG home theatre system to xbox

    "I'm looking at a blue ray home theater system (LG LHB953). I want to make sure there's a way to have my xbox play its sound through the blue ray speaker system. Here is a link to the picture of the back of the blue ray player (http://shopper.cnet.com/sc/33656614-2-440-DT4.jpg) and the TV is a toshiba 40rv525r (If you message me I can send you a link with a pic that shows the back of that too). Is there a way for me to play the xbox and tv sound through the blue ray player even though it doesn't have an extra hdmi port? For example could an audio component cable connect the two? thanks for your time"

    Nope, there shouldn't be any need to have anything going from the xbox to the receiver, unless you had additional hdmi ports in it, which you dont.
    Here is the optical cables BB sells, sorted low to high in price.
    Anything i say is not a direct response from Best Buy or Geek Squad. I just post on here to add my insight.

  • Xbox and Audigy 2 NX

    Hello! I have a question if it is possible to hook up my xbox and my speakers (Logitech x-620) with the external soundcard Audigy 2 NX Usb. I want the sound from the xbox go through the Audigy 2 NX and come out of the speakers as 5. Digital Surround.Sincerely: George

    The only way this will work is if the Logitech x-620 are digital speakers connected to either the s/pdif coax or optical out of the sound card.

  • Will the new Airport Express bridge to my Xbox and play AirTunes?

    I have a dual band AirPort Extreme and would like to purchase an Airport Express for my Xbox.  I'd like to connect the Express to my wifi network and use the Ethernet jack to get my Xbox onto the network.   I'd also like to stream AirTunes to my stereo at the same time.  Is this possible? Thanks!

    You might want to keep in mind that you will not have a "true" Ethernet connection here. The quality of the Ethernet connection will only be as good as the speed of the wireless "hop" between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    In other words, since the Xbox connection depends on wireless, you may as well connect the Xbox using wireless....especially if your wireless signal is greater than normal "n" speeds of 130 Mbps.
    Remember, the Ethernet port on the Express is limited to 100 Mbps, so wireless may well be a faster connection than Ethernet to the Xbox.
    To realize the advantage of a "true" Ethernet connection to the network, you will need to connect an Ethernet cable from the Xbox to the AirPort Extreme....not the AirPort Express.

  • XBOX and setting NAT to OPEN with a Linkseys E1000

    And before someone posts it, I have used this guide as well as dozens of others.
    http://www.xbox360forum.com/xbox-forum/threads/51908-How-To-Open-NAT.-xbox-360.
    I really don't know what to do. No matter what I do, I just can't get it to go from Moderate to Open. I'm honestly thinking about returning the router and going with a new brand. I have followed multiple guides and nothing works.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter. Leave User name 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" sub tab.
    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.
    Who is your Internet service provider?
    Open the setup page of the router and go to the Status tab. Note down the Internet IP address on the status page.
    Click here and check the Internet IP address. Make sure that both the IP addresses are same.

    Date: Sep 5, 2012 4:08:21 PM PDT
    Linksys E3200 High-Performance Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router
    the nat type for xbox 360 and ps3, what is it when you set the router up out of the box? are the nat types open moderate or strict

    Hi there. It actually depends if the gaming consoles ports are not blocked by your ISP. Moderate NAT type limits your connection playing online games, Strict does not allow you any connection at all while Open allows you to play with everyone online. Have you had a router before with Open NAT on the gaming consoles? Try to check without the router by going directly to the modem and see if your NAT type is open or strict or moderate. If ever modem is fine and it is the router not working right you can port forward ports on the router. I found these usual ports online, for XBOX live:TCP and UDP ports:  80-88, 3074-3074, 4267-4269. For PS380, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480, 5223, 8080 and UDP: 3478, 3479.

  • Xbox and bt infinity

    Have had BT infinity for a week now, and my xbox will not connect to x box live. Have done everything that I can accordindg to the information given on the xbox live website and here on Bt and still it will not connect........I am connecting to the router through the mains using two powerline adapters. It was working perfectly on the Bt home hub 2. But I am getting to the stage where I will have to change my router......... Any one had the same problem and managed to fix it????? If so all help welcome.

    Thanks for the reply. the homeplugs connect to the HH3, when you run the test from the Xbox it shows the network connection is ok but that there is no connection to the internet. Have done a reset on the xbox ....still no connection. Funny thing is i booted up the xbox and it connected to xbox live and I was able to play Battlefield 3 for about 5 minutes before the connection was lost!! Very random. I am going to substitute the homeplugs as a next step but I am still no nearer understanding what is going on.

  • Is this possible: SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and ...

    Hi,
    I have (stupid perhaps) question.
    Is this scenario possible:
    SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and non-SNC connection from SAP Router to SAP System.
    I know how to set up scenario like this:
    SAP System --- (non-SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP GUI.
    Best regards,
    Marek Majchrowski

    Wolfgang,
    To be sure myself and Marek understand, can you confirm the different scenarios supported:
    Scenario 1:
    SAP GUI --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP System
    With this scenario, it would be possible for a user to logon using SAP GUI onto the SAP System, but without SAP GUI SNC.
    Scenario 2:
    SAP GUI --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (SNC conn) --- SAP System
    With this scenario it would be possible to logon to the SAP System using SAP GUI, and using SNC authentication.
    Also, with this scenario the SAP GUI software and SAP System software would consider this to be similar to:
    SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- SAP System
    Scenario 3:
    This is the scenario mentioned by Marek in his initial question:
    SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- saprouter1 -- (non SNC conn) -- SAP System
    With this scenario it will not be possible to logon to SAP System using SNC, and only possible if the SAP GUI is configured to not use SNC. In other words the SNC connection between SAP GUI and saprouter1 is available, but cannot be used.
    Thanks,
