Use as a screen for XBOX 360?

I think the title explains - but I'll give you an idea of what I'm trying to do.
OK,So i've been planning on a 360 for a while now; but im struggling for a screen - I want my own personal screen in my room next to my iMac - I don't like it downstairs in the lounge - But it'd be great if I could just have it plugged into my mac and have it next to my printer
Is there any software - If you have to buy it make sure I can buy it in pounds
- anyway yeah any software that enables this - or will it just work - if you plug in - but what plug would you plug it into?
gah...I'm confused...anyway thanks and I hope you can help

There is no video input on the iMac.
Therefore you will need a device like the ones sold by Elgato.

Amazon Q&A - E3200 - Default Nat Type for xbox 360 and ps3

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.

Correct settings for xbox 360

Hi i have an older airport extreme with wireless N and dual band signal. I'm trying to connect my xbox 360 to it wirelessly for xbox live. I know i'm not the first one to ask this question but truth be told, I had it working fine until apple's latest update in late January 2012. Since then the xbox will connect and have a good signal (at least 3 bars and usually 4) on xbox's test screen. I've looked for an answer to my problem but it seems no one has posted anything about this yet because the software for the airport and airport utility are so new. What will happen when playing a game is it will connect and start out fine with a good transfer rate (not great but good because my laptop somehow has a higher transfer rate. laptop 144mbps. xbox 360 65mbps) But after playing an online game the transfer rate dramatically drops, and drops so much that it becomes extremely laggy and then kicks me out of the game saying something like lost connection to server, making any online game unplayable. If i restart the xbox and play the same game online, the same thing happens. Like i said none of these problems were happening before this recent software update. As a side note, the software update also seemed to remove some useful options from the router like the ability to increase the power of the signal (i really dont unstand why apple would remove features but whatever). So if anyone has a fix or suggestion, please reply to this.

i basically answered my own question. i reverted back to 7.6 firmware and got rid of 7.6.1. And now everythings fine. Thank you apple for supplying me with an update that made it worse.

AirPort Express as a Wireless Adapter For Xbox 360 and to stream PC audio?

Ok, so I am wondering if I can do this config with an AirPort express. I want to connect the AirPort to my existing WiFi, and be able to plug in an Ethernet cable connected to an Xbox 360 to get Xbox Live, as well as stream audio from my PC. Is this possible to do at once? Also, is it possible to stream PC audio, not just iTunes music? Thanks for your time.

Hello podalex,
Just an FYI for you with regard to the Airport Express:
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibility.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx
In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
As stated previously, it's best to have the Windows 7 certified drivers installed.
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assitance and support.

No HD for Xbox 360 input 2

Hello everyone!
I have a NS42P650A11 television (42" Insignia 720p). Anyway, my roommates and I regularly enjoy playing FIFA 11 on our Xbox 360 which we have hook into input 2. We've always played in HD and it's been a great picture. However, last night my roommate, while switching the input from 1 to 2 (we usually slide our finger down the side because we can never find the remote), messed everything up. Another roommate had distracted him and he says he thinks he changed some settings. The picture is no longer HD quality, it's quite bad. I tried to search through all the menus and User Guide but didn't find anything. Eventually I just held EXIT and reset all settings. Somehow this didn't fix the problem at all. Help!
Thanks, Blake

The TV only has HDMI inputs so those are the cables from the xbox we are using. I unplugged and plugged them back in, nothing happened. There's no chance of the regular component cables from the xbox being used as they are not in the TV. The TV/HDMI switch on the xbox cord near the box is also correct, though I unplugged it and switched it back and forth to make sure. The picture looks normal, just blurry. There's definitely a slight zoom effect while we're in the game, and on the menus things look smaller and to take up less space than normal.
I think the regular cable is unaffected (through input 1) but when I bring up the tv guide menu it takes up the space of a 4:3 aspect, instead of going all the way across the screen like it used to (although it's still clear unlike when I go to non-HD channel which shrinks the guide and makes it blurry).
It doesn't make sense to me either, especially after resetting all the settings. But it's happening that much I can assure.

Best Monitor for XBOX 360

I am currently looking to purchase a computer monitor to play my xbox 360 on.
My question is, what type of monitor would be the best for me to purchase? It has to have the capability of 3.5 mm stero adapter input, but I am sure that most of you already knew that . . .
Thanks so much to anyone that can help me with this issue

There are a large selection of monitors out there with HDMI and 1080P now. Acer and Samsung are my favorite for computer monitors.

Can the Macbook Air be used as a display monitor for Xbox 360 ???

Hi Guys,
Basically I was just wondering if the Macbook Air 11'' can be used a display monitor for the Xbox 360 due to me smashing my TV... Ooops.
I tried with a thunderbolt to HDMI socket and then plugged that into my Xbox with no luck ! If it is possible in some way could you please explain what parts are need and how it would need to be set up.
Many Thanks,

Can I use a D-Link DIR-505 as a repeater just for xbox 360?

Most people who have a Time Capsule and xbox 360 here, know the woes of trying to get them to play nice together. I've flat out given up and wired it. But I really would like to have it wireless.
Has anyone tried to use this D-Link DIR-505 as a repeater and/or bridge? Or for that matter, any other device? The added bonus is that the signal is boosted. I originally wanted to get an Airport Express to do this same thing, but my guess is that the internals of the AExpress and the TC are the same and I'll just end up with the same problem.
If someone can confirm that the AExpress works with the Xbox 360, I would rather get that. I've read that Apple routers get along best with other Apple products and not as great with non-Apple products.
Any advice would be great!
thanks.

You would be better off buying a new router.. eg WNDR3800 netgear.. which is fully compatible with xbox.. better wireless than the TC.. has excellent third party firmware, openwrt, gargoyle, dd-wrt.
Bridge your TC and use it for backups.

Wi-Fi for Xbox 360

I bought an Xbox 360 for my son and it has 802.11n Wi-Fi built in. When I buy a wi-fi router, should I get wirelessn or g? Or does it matter?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

N is better. It has further range, better throughput and a better connection almost always. Most routers are N now anyways.
So yes to N.

When you upgrade the firmware on your Router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
For your XBOX you can make these changes on yuor Router as well as on your XBOX. I think it should make the NAT Open on your XBOX.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username 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" subtab...
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...

Wireless Airport Connection for XBox 360

There are several prior threads on this, and on the Micros**t board, but none resolve the issue - so here's hoping someone can help the father of a frustrated 15 year old (please, please!!).
Bottom line - my son got an XBox 360 for Christmas. We have an Airport Extreme network (with an Airport Express range booster down stream) for our home network. Cable modem with static IP. The XBox with its wireless networking adapter will recognize my home network (with WEP security) - it's located about 10 fet from the Extreme Base Satation, but the XBox will not connect. (We tried the XBox website's "set up wizard" to no avail; Microsoft simply says that Airports are not supported and they have no clue as to how to establish a connection with a non-PC).
I know an XBox 360 can join an Apple Airport Extreme wireless network because others have posted the result - but without any explicit instructions on how to do so (at least none that I can find).
I'm pretty Mac savvy, but don't want to get into doing terminal commands as I don't want to mess up any aspect of my home network (since I have an office there as well and can't afford to rebuild a network like I did last night for 6 hours when someone at Micro told me to change my Airporst security, which sent a ripple effect throgh my system to the point I lost all internet for hours).
So, if anyone can give me a set of "a, b, c ... 1, 2, 3 ..." set-up instructions on how to wirelessly get an XBox 360 to join an Airport Extreme network, you'll have certaintly done your good deed for the Holidays!
Thanks and Cheers!

Found the answer - set wireless security to 128 bit WEP and made the network password EXACTLY 13 characters, and the XBox loaded right up.
Happy New Year's All!

WRT54GL setup problem for xbox 360 live
