Connecting XBOX 360 to WRT54G wireless network

I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT 54G)  and I have set up a wirless network with my xbox 360. (sucessfully connected to Live).
I have windows XP and latest Zune software installed and thought it would be easy to connect my XBOX to my Zune. 5 days later (and one hour wasted with tech support) and I am still stuck.
I have enabled sharing in the zune software and it does indeed recognize that a 360 is available. But when I try to connect the 360 it cannot find the PC.
I have closed Zone alarm and windows firewall is not running.
What do I need to tell the linksys router to enable the XBOX to see my PC?
The XBOX help says the following need to be enabled?
Port Name Protocol Scope 2869 UPnP Framework TCP My network (subnet) only 1900 UPnP Framework UDP My network (subnet) only 10284 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10283 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10282 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10281 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10280 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10243 Windows Media Connect TCP My network (subnet) only
The xbox help tells me I need to enable ports??? If I do this then I am only able to enter the 4th number ie AAA.BBB.CCC.DD       What should I enter for DD, 1? Will this fix it? 
Please help and put me out of my misery.

well...you need to assign a static ip add on the x-box ( 192.168.1.10 ) . Also , assign static DNS addresses ( from the router's status page )

  • Trouble connecting xbox 360 to e2000 wirelessly

    I have an original Xbox 360 (wifi not built in) and the external wifi adapter.  With all previous Cisco routers, I have been able to connect my Xbox successfully and quickly.  Now, however, I am experiencing much difficulty.
    I have verified I am using the latest firmware for my router, and configured my router like this: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=082ee344b4754044b1ff95fcd78b5305_4576.xml&pid=80&r... in terms of ports.  I have also used the Xbox's MAC address to give a static IP address via my router's DNS.  
    The Xbox can see both my main wireless SSID and my guest SSID but cannot connect to either.

    Hi Gammit, lower security to WPA2/WPA Mixed Personal. Set channel to 3,6, or 9 . Make sure firmware is up to date.

  • E3000 and Xbox 360 5Ghz and Wireless N issue

    Hello everyone,
    Bought the E3000 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm pretty pleased thus far. I do have one issue with it though, my Xbox 360 has a wireless N adapter and should support wireless N and 5Ghz dual band, but it does not see this network. It only spots the 2,4ghz one. Have the latest firmware installed, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I just read that this router could have some issues with this.
    Once it connects to the 2,4 Ghz network though, it says it's connected by using wireless G.
    Anyone got a solution for this?
    Thanks!

    The problem is your router, cisco needs to update the fimware to be compatible. There is nothing you can do to get it to work, except to switch the router out with a different name brand and it will work. This is a problem with their biggest flag ship router Cisco E4200 as well. You will not be able to connect to 5Ghz N nor 2.4Ghz N, only can connect to 2.4Ghz  G or 5 Ghz A with or without security This has been going on for awhile with cisco. 

  • Connecting HP Laserjet P1102W to wireless network (then getting drivers!)

    Hi,
    My macbook pro and HP LASERJET P1102W seemed to be communicating just fine when I had snow leapard.  Post update to Mountain Lion, problems.
    I have gotten the printer to work when connected via USB, however not consistently.  (Often it cannot recognize when paper tray is filled, cannot do two sided printing and has other issues perhaps connected to the fact that software is missing?) 
    I have read the documentation on HP site, noting that the only way to install drivers is via a network connecton and airprint which requires a network connection.
    Not sure this is the right place to ask this, but I will for now:
    How do I connect my printer to my network, which is a new home network as I just changed from DSL to Cable? 
    Note:  I had not previously ever connected my printer to my wireless network and set it up to work with Airprint, though that is one of the reasons I bought it.  
    Once I do connect the printer to my wireless network, perhaps then I can try to follow the steps on the HP site   http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03425022&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=4142&product=4110396&sw_lang=
    If anyone has experience with the above, I would love to hear it!
    Final question:  Is plugging the printer into the back of the new cable modem via ethernet or USB perhaps a way to put it on the wireless network?  Not a convenient location, but if only alternative, I would try it.
    THANKS!
    Ani

    Dear Happy-to-Help,
    I appreciate you logging in to help. I shall give this a shot in the next couple of days when I have more time and let you know how it goes.
    I have been quite frustrated by the fact that HP says if the HP Laserjet P1102W has worked fine with Snow Leapord and one upgrades to Mountain Lion, all the drivers will be automatically upgraded/updated (or whatever the term).  That has not been the case at all.   It took quite a bit to even get my computer and printer to talk to one another via a USB connection—with none of the functions of the printer (as noted above) working properly to this day.
    I hope your suggestion works.  Will be back in touch to let you know.

  • Problem connecting MBP to established Linksys wireless network

    just got MBP 2.16 (my first mac!). Having trouble connecting to my established linksys wireless network. I have the BEFW11S4 (V.2) etherfast wireless access point + cable router with 4 port switch. Currently have 128 encryption enabled. The linksys router is broadcasting its ID (I can see "linksys" on my mac) but it seems to not accept the password. I tried entering the 26 WEP key, the passphrase, the WEP key in quotes, the WEP after a $ sign... all to no avail. please APPLE community, help out a mac noobie before i have to turn back to Bill Gates....
    Dell Dimension 8200, MBP 2.16   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2 GB SDRAM

    To find the IP address or the status, go to system Preferences then network. It will show you the status of any internet connections. You should see one for Airport, it will either show a green light and say 'Airport is connected to the internet' (or something like that) or a red light and say 'Airport is is active but not connected' (something like that). If you double click on Airport or click 'Configure' you will see tabs, click on TCP/IP and it will show all of your details including your IP address.
    As for the other, it always refers to wireless networks as 'Airport' and that response is the standard response from a Mac.
    the password should be typed in the hex section, not sure about the $ sign. I've never had to do that before. But if you can't connect even with no encription then I would think it is another problem. I would turn off the encription until you can at least get connected and then you can worry about the security afterwards.

  • I can't make my iphone 4 forget the hpsetup network which keeps showing up at work. My phone won't automatically connect to my company's wireless network.

    I can't make my iphone 4 forget the hpsetup network which keeps showing up at work. My phone won't automatically connect to my company's wireless network. I have to reselect it everytime I come to work.

    Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings will "forget" all WiFi networks so you can select them again.
    If the problem with your company network is not solved by doing this, are there multiple sites that have the same network name for the company network? Or is it the default network name for the router type (e.g., DLINK, LINKSYS, etc)? If so, this is what is causing the problem and there is no solution other than convincing IT that it is a bad idea to have duplicate network names.

  • Xbox 360 vs. Unsecure Network

    I have an Xbox 360 and Microsoft wireless adapter, plus a WRT54GX2 wireless router.  I've tried setting this router up in unsecure mode, meaning no security.  My Xbox 360 will not find the IP address... what should I do?
    -Simon

    Well..I had a similar problem..Here's what you can try.....
    On the set up page of the router , reduce the MTU to 1365... Go to " Applications and Gaming " tab..click on the "Port trigerring" subtab..Trigger ports 88 and 3074..
    These are the general ports for xbox..however you can still look for some more ports if required and open the same...
    If this does not work then go for upgrading the firmware of the router and re-do all the settings...

  • Graphite Connects to Someone Else's Wireless Network

    When I startup my eMac (10.4.8) I sometimes cannot connect to the internet via Airport. I discover, upon launching Internet Connect, that I am connected, but not on our wireless network. Instead, Airport shows me connected on something called "linksys" (which I assume is a neighbor's wireless network), and the signal is very weak. I can switch to our network via Internet Connect & all is well, but it's a hassle having to go through this every time. It used to be that I'd immediately be connected to our own wireless network & Airport upon startup. Help! How can I "teach" my Airport to always connect via OUR network & not "linksys"???

    Try each of the following, in order, until resolved:
    1. Run the Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
    2a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
    2b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    - Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    - Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    - Restart, or log out then back in.
    2c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    - Restart or log out then back in.
    3. Create a New User Account
    - Create a new user account.
    -- System Preferences > Accounts
    -- Click "+" to add a new account
    - Log off, then log back on with the new user account.
    - Try connecting with the AirPort.

  • Connecting HP Officejet 6100 to wireless network with OSX 10.9.5

    Running OSX 10.9.5.
    I'm trying to connect HP Officejet 6100 to wireless network without HP software since the software claims it is not compatable with my OS. 
    The printer works fine when connected via USB.

    Hi @dj2thew,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to add your HP Officejet 6100 to your Mac running the Mavericks 10.9.5 Operating system.
    Because you are using the Mavericks OS X you must install the printer using the Apple Updates. Please click on the link below, this document explains how to install the print driver on a Mac for a USB or a network connection. The OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU). Additionally, you can perform basic print jobs using AirPrint without installing a driver.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
    Once you have installed the OJ 6100, you may notice the features you once had are limited or there are workarounds, for scanning with or without HP Software see below:

  • 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
    Several MACs (new, and 2yr old), Airport Extreme   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    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

  • Creating wireless network (& connecting Xbox 360)

    Hello,
    I have an iMac G5 and a newly acquired Xbox 360..unfortunately both are in sperate rooms.
    I have a Sppedtouch USB modem and would like to create a wireless network, so I could access Xbox Live downstairs.
    Any recommendations on a router (?) and also would Xbox Live be available if the iMac wasn't turned on?
    I apologise in advance for my lack of knowldge!
    Thanks in advance,
    Ben

    No , you have to run ethernet cable from your modem to the router .. and then it has 4 wired access PORTS for you to plug your systems in with ethernet (or , since you want to run the 360 from downstairs , wirelessly) . You dont have Ethernet on the iMac or modem ? i thought they came with gigabyte ethernet . If you can't get to it with ethernet and need usb , you need a different model router which i'm sure someone else in here will have info on for you .
    cheers

  • DNS Error when trying to connect xbox360 to WRT54G wireless network, Please help!!

    I recently purchased a new router (WRT54G Ver.6) and the initial setup went well. however, when I try to connect my xbox 360 to this network, the DNS does not resolve and it fails every time. what should I do?

    Hi…..
        Well in this case first make sure whether the computers which are connected [wired or wireless] to the router are able to get online.
    If the computers are not able to get online through the router then you will have to configure the router. And if the computers are able to get online then in order to resolve the DNS Error in order to get the X-Box360 working you can assign Static DNS Address to the X-Box
    The Static DNS Address you can use can be 206.13.29.12 and 206.13.30.12

    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.

  • Connecting XBOX 360 Wirelessly to WRT300N V1.1

    If you suffer from a slow connection when using your Xbox 360 usb wireless adapter and the wrt300n router, then fret no more! I called both xbox and linksys and below is what I came up with, which made my connection to Xbox Live work properly. This may even work with other routers as well  
    Setup for WRT300N V1.1 connected wirelessly to an XBOX 360 USB Wireless Adapter.
    Connection Type: High Speed Cable Internet.
    Select Setup
     Select Basic Setup
    Change the MTU setting to manual, edit size to be 1365.
    Save
    Select Security
    Deselect the “Filter Anonymous Internet Requests”
    Save
    Select Applications & Gaming
    Select PortRange Forwarding
    For the first port input the following:
    Start ~ EndPort: 88 to 88
    Protocol: UDP
    To IP Address: 100
    Check Enable
    Application Name: xbox1
    For the second port input the following:
    Start ~ EndPort: 3074 to 3074
    Protocol: Both
    To IP Address: 100
    Check Enable
    Application Name: xbox2
    Save
    Select Administration
    Disable Upnp
    Save
    This should allow for a smooth connection.

    Thank you for your reply.  However, there is still some confusion on my part.
    How does setting up a static IP on the PC help me connect to the Xbox 360 wirelessly?   Please explain.
    The static IP Doesn't help you connect wirelessly, it helps you set up port forwarding properly.   So that is step 1
    Step 2 would be for you connecting wirelessly, and I am pretty sure the actiontec is already security enabled, so if it is then you would look on the router itself for a silverish sticker that has an ESSID and a WEP KEY   When going through your xbox set up you will have a list of networks to choose from, make sure what you try to connect to matches the ESSID found physically on the router, and then it will ask you for a password or a network key and that is when you put in your WEP key.   That would get you on wirelessly.
    the static ip is exclusively for your port forwarding and should only really be used if once your connected to the xbox wirelessly - if it's still having trouble.   that would be when you would set up the port forwarding as I kinda described earlier.  so you put in your xbox the static ip address, and then your router will route traffic to and from it based on that ip.   mine didn't need the static ip it would connect wirelessly automatically or via dhcp, but when the network dragged or i got bad performance, that is when I went to port forwarding. 

Maybe you are looking for
